This model allows students to rotate through
different learning stations which include both
activities that are technology-based and

7. 2. Flipped Classroom
The flipped classroom is the idea that the
students learn the material at home and
come to school for application. In this model,
the teacher plays more of the coaching role
to support the student but still allows for
individual creativity and curiosity.

8. 3. Individual rotation learning
This blended learning format is an even more
personalized approach where students go
through learning stations that are curated
specifically for them. Playlists and choice
boards can play a huge role in the
individuality of the learning experience for
students to gain additional decision-making
skills.

9. 4. Project-Based Learning
This model is based on the concept of
producing content. Students gain experience
creating images, stories, and so much more
with the advantage of technology. Hands-on
learning is key for project-based learning. The
overall goal is to make lessons applicable and
intentional to recreate something similar to
real-life work experience for students.
