4 Models Of Blended Learning To Implement In The Classroom

More and more teachers are beginning to implement blended learning into their classrooms. This is because there are so many advantages and positive aspects that come with this style of education. 

If you are tempted to jump on this bandwagon, you will need to decide how you plan on incorporating technology into your lessons. This article will discuss 4 models of blended learning that you could consider for your classroom. 

Rotation Model Of Blended Learning

Students will have to move between classroom-based learning modalities or stations in a rotation model of blended learning. The groups could involve students working in pairs, individually, or with the teacher. 

For example, one station could involve a section of the class being taught work by the educator. Another station could involve students completing practice activities on computers or tablets. And lastly, the final station could involve the students watching a video based on the work. 

Flex Model Of Blended Learning

The flex model of blended learning is the most expensive method as it involves most, if not all, of the students in the class owning their own electronic device. This enables the students to complete all class activities, homework assignments, and exams on the devices. 

Educators can use online textbooks and digital worksheets to teach lessons. However, it is essential that they still communicate and go through the work with the students. In other words, students should not be completing assignments by relying solely on technology, and without the help of teachers. 

A La Carte Model Of Blended Learning

The A La Carte model of blended learning incorporates online learning with physical schooling. Students can enroll in additional online classes, offering them more flexibility and convenience. 

In this model, teachers offer their students extra virtual classes to solidify the understanding of work. There are plenty of resources that can be used to supplement this style of education. For example, the new Pedagogue app will allow educators to teach their students via video conferencing calls and audio chats. If you would like to learn more about Pedagogue, you can visit their online website. 

Enriched Virtual Model Of Blended Learning

The enriched virtual model of blended learning allows students to be taught work during face-to-face lessons. They can then complete any practice activities or assignments while at home or anywhere outside of the classroom. 

There are plenty of advantages and disadvantages to this model of blended learning. While students have much more flexibility and convenience when it comes to their work, they will also not have the guidance and assistance of an educator when there is a problem. 

Concluding Thoughts

If you are thinking of incorporating blended learning into your classroom, you will need to decide on a model. 

The rotation model of blended learning involves students moving between classroom-based learning modalities or stations. The flex model involves most students in the classroom having their own electronic devices – they can then use them to complete any work assignments. 

The A La Carte model allows students to enroll in additional online classes. Lastly, the enriched virtual model of blended learning will enable students to complete all of their school work in their own time and away from the classroom.
