Blended Learning Visually Explained for Teachers. July 10, 2016 Here is a short visual we created for teachers explaining the core notions behind the concept of Blended Learning. We have also included a collection of what we believe are some essential web tools for classrooms that adopt a blended learning model of instruction.

What is blended learning: It is an instructional methodology, a teaching and learning approach that combines face-to-face classroom methods with computer mediated activities to deliver instruction. Blended learning models: According to Dreambox, Blended learning has 6 main models: 1- Face-to-face driver This is ideal for individualized learning and is performed on a case by case basis 2- Rotation Involves a regular flipping between traditional Classroom teaching and online learning 3- Flex Instruction is done primarily online and is supplemented by on-site personal support.
How to Create Recordings of Your iPad's Screen. This week's Practical Ed Tech Tip of the Week was about how to create screencast videos on an Android device. Shortly after posting that tip I had some people ask how to create a screencast of an iPad screen. There are a couple of ways that you can create a screencast video of your iPad's screen.Method 1 - If you have a Mac computer: Connect your iPad to your Mac by using the Lightning cable (the cable that came with your iPad). Then open QuickTime on your Mac. Next select "new movie recording" from the QuickTime menu. You can then choose the name of your iPad and click record. When you're done recording your new screencast will save to your computer as a video file that you can then edit in iMovie if you want to cut out portions of it or lay a music track under your narration.Method 2 - If you have a Windows computer: You will need a third-party service that allows you to mirror your iPad to the screen of your Windows computer.

The flipped classroom model generated a lot of excitement initially, but more recently some educators — even those who were initial advocates — have expressed disillusionment with the idea of assigning students to watch instructional videos at home and work on problem solving and practice in class.
Biggest criticisms: watching videos of lectures wasn’t all that revolutionary, that it perpetuated bad teaching and raised questions about equal access to digital technology. Now flipped classroom may have reached equilibrium, neither loved nor hated, just another potential tool for teachers — if done well. “You never want to get stuck in a rut and keep doing the same thing over and over,” said Aaron Sams, a former high school chemistry teacher turned consultant who helped pioneer flipped classroom learning in an edWeb webinar. “The flipped classroom is not about the video,” said Jonathan Bergmann, Sams’ fellow teacher who helped fine tune and improve a flipped classroom strategy.

This is the final installment of Canadian Middle School Math teacher, Tim Boudreau. How has Doceri changed how you interact with your students during lectures/ presentations/ small group instruction? I tend not to give too many lectures in the classroom, but when I do, I often do the live screencast format.
Knowing that everything is being recorded actually reduces the amount of student distractions, and classroom discussion tends to be much more on-topic. Have you flipped your classroom? Yes, and no. I still introduce some concepts in the classroom, but even those lectures often are live screencasts which are then uploaded to Edmodo. Do you have any advice for teachers new to using Doceri, creating screencasts, or integrating tech into their class routines? Try not to focus on all the different things that people use Doceri for and focus on just one specific task you want to use it for.
