Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.16,0:00:15.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We work with schools across the country
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.23,0:00:17.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to help them think about blended learning
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.58,0:00:19.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to design instructional models

Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.71,0:00:38.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the term 'blended learning,' describe some of
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.81,0:00:40.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the blended learning models,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.79,0:00:45.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and discuss the results we are getting.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.91,0:00:47.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What is blended learning?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.74,0:00:49.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you think about the traditional classroom
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.70,0:00:52.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,environment on one end of the spectrum,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.23,0:00:54.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and on the other end of the spectrum is a student
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.62,0:00:56.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,learning on a computer at home,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.74,0:01:00.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,blended learning is somewhere in the middle.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.29,0:01:02.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now let's ask ourselves,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.23,0:01:04.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"How do we differentiate and individualize
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.47,0:01:06.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instruction in the classroom?"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.66,0:01:08.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Frankly, students are not engaged
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.58,0:01:10.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in lecture-style instruction.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.70,0:01:13.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know that small-group instruction,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.06,0:01:16.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,personal learning plans, guided practice,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.18,0:01:19.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and inquiry-based teaching all lead toward
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.02,0:01:22.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a better and deeper understanding of concepts.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.26,0:01:25.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Unfortunately, differentiation and feedback
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.50,0:01:29.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,doesn't scale without technology.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.34,0:01:31.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So blended learning is about leveraging
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.53,0:01:33.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,digital content to provide students
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.77,0:01:35.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with skills and practice –
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.73,0:01:38.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meanwhile, the teacher focuses on
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.16,0:01:40.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,depth and application of concepts
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.27,0:01:43.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to teach higher-order thinking skills.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.58,0:01:45.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what if we can create an environment
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.63,0:01:48.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where, one,students can get individualized,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.97,0:01:51.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,self-paced instruction,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.31,0:01:53.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,two, teachers can provide
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.92,0:01:56.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,differentiated small-group instruction,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.59,0:01:59.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,based upon weekly or daily data,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.31,0:02:01.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, three, schools can operate
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.78,0:02:03.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at a much lower cost per pupil –
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.96,0:02:07.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which will allow them to reallocate resources.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.36,0:02:12.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This environment is blended learning.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.46,0:02:15.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What are some of the blended-learning models?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.82,0:02:18.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's go back to the spectrum learning environments.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.46,0:02:22.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As we see it now, there are four models emerging:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.03,0:02:27.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lab rotation, class rotation, flex, and pod.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.20,0:02:30.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm going to go over each of these now.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.87,0:02:33.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lab rotation is where students move in and out
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.39,0:02:35.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of a classroom to a computer lab.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.83,0:02:38.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many people seeing this model will think it looks
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.08,0:02:41.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very similar to a traditional computer lab.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.08,0:02:43.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, if you look under the hood,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.23,0:02:46.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the difference is that in a lab rotation,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.29,0:02:49.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the data from the content in the learning lab
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.04,0:02:52.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,informs the instruction in the classroom.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.13,0:02:54.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In a class rotation model,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.10,0:02:56.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,students are broken out into smaller groups.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.69,0:02:58.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So a class of 30 may be broken out
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.94,0:03:01.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into four small groups.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.22,0:03:02.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Every 20 minutes,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.40,0:03:05.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the groups may rotate between stations.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.50,0:03:08.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One station is with the teacher –
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.63,0:03:10.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,two stations are with the computer –
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.84,0:03:14.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the fourth station may be guided practice.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.29,0:03:16.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this environment, a teacher has the ability
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.54,0:03:19.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to monitor the whole class, manage behavior,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.51,0:03:22.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and maintain the class culture.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.44,0:03:25.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the flex model, the learning lab might look like
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.08,0:03:27.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a large call center, with banks of computers.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.91,0:03:30.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Around the edges of the lab might be
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.04,0:03:32.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,smaller breakout rooms for classes.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.57,0:03:34.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this model, the students work
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.06,0:03:35.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mostly on the computers,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.71,0:03:38.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a teacher might pull out a group of students
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.07,0:03:42.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for seminar intervention or direct instruction.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.77,0:03:48.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the newer models is the pod concept.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.47,0:03:51.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Essentially, it's a school within a school,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.13,0:03:53.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and each pod might have multiple grade levels.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.84,0:03:56.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this model the role of the teacher may be
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.20,0:03:59.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,redefined and broken out into discrete roles –
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.40,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an adviser, a behavior specialist,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or an instructor – to support each pod.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All of these models are rethinking the traditional school,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,giving students more control over their learning,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and providing students with targeted instruction.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What are some of the results?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,From a student perspective, students are
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more engaged using online content
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,versus paper-and-pencil practice worksheets.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They like getting real time feedback
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and knowing where they stand at any time.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Students can control how fast or slow
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they need to go through a lesson.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In these schools, we see students accelerating
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,past the skills for their grade level.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is what we call unleashing their learning velocity.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also, even though the class sizes may be larger,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,students feel that their classes are actually pretty small,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the experience they have
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the teacher is in a small group.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now from a teacher's perspective,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the teachers we've spoken to find it easier
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to plan for small group instruction
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,versus trying to teach to the middle
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and differentiating top and bottom.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Teachers find teaching in small groups more rewarding,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the students are more engaged.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And finally, teachers are surprised by how much easier
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,classroom management is with students fully engaged
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the computers versus when students
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are doing things on pencil and paper.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you for watching our video on blended learning.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are excited by the potential opportunities
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,blended learning brings.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I hope you found it useful as you think about your own school.
