Blended Learning is being promoted as a “disruptive innovation” in education. Supporters suggest that this model has the potential to reach all learners in new exciting ways. What exactly is blended learning and how might this “look” in the middle level classroom? How can teachers begin to implement blended learning models in their classrooms? Sun West School Division shares the journey and findings of its year-long action based research project aimed at exploring the impact of blended learning on student engagement and comprehension.

Presentation for Saskatchewan Principals' Short Course - Saskatoon, July 4, 2013
This is a presentation that I use to introduce blogging to students. We use this as a way to think about the "rules of the road" when blogging. I generate student responses first, and then share some common safety tips. We use Kidblog as our platform, but you could use any platform!
I hope this helps!

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

social networking
Educational blogs, or edublogs, serve as instructional
resources
“On October 13, 2012, there were around 77 million
Tumblr[5] and 56.6 million WordPress[6] blogs in
existence worldwide.”

5. The following 5 uses have been extracted
from Educational Blogging by Stephen
Downes in the Educase Review.
6. Instructors post class times and rules,
assignment notifications, suggested readings,
and exercises.
The blog becomes an organizing tool (Online
“Filing Cabinet”)
7. Instructors begin to link to Internet items that
relate to their course.
Using the technology is not viewed as an “add
on”, but instead an important skill in the
learning process.
8. “The conversation possible on the weblog is also
an amazing tool to develop our community of
learners. The students get to know each other
better by visiting and reading blogs from other
students. They discover, in a non-threatening
way, their similarities and differences.
The student who usually talks very loud in the
classroom and the student who is very timid have
the same writing space to voice their opinion. It
puts students in a situation of equity.”
9. A blog can serve as a Digital Portfolio where
students can share their learning with others,
including parents, peers, and a global
audience.
A blog can also document the learning
process, offering students, parents, and
teachers a chance to observe change and
growth.
Kathy Cassidy
10. Blogs are an amazing way for learners to
reach out to others across the globe.
Partnerships can be created among schools in
different parts of the Division, or different
parts of the world!
13. Examples of how teachers use blogs in their
high school classroom (video)
14. As an educator, the first step is to think
about the reasons you want to blog with your
students.
What is the purpose of the blog?
◦ Do you want to document the learning process? Is
your purpose to share a final product?
◦ Are you hoping to provide students an opportunity
to receive feedback from others?
◦ Is the intent to provide a space for reflection?
Defining the purpose is key!
15.
16. 1. Share the purpose of the blog – with
students, with parents, with Administrators
2. Determine your audience – who is in and
who is out?
3. Select a blog hosting site – Blogger,
Kidblog, ClassBlogmeister …
4. Educate students about responsibilities –

Co-constructing Rules
◦ It is a good idea to create a list of “rules” for
acceptable use when adding content to a blog.
◦ Setting the expectations in advance, and developing
consequences can help prevent issues from
developing.
