I plan on using blended learning in my social studies classroom so my lessons are more student centered because it is more engaging to the students.
2. I plan to use blended learning rotation most because I enjoy group work and most of my students do as well.

I plan on using blended learning in my social studies classroom by creating more opportunities for students to have choice. I usually have a more teacher directed classroom but would like to create assignments that allow students to work at their own pace and decide what assignments they want to complete. Specifically using laptops and iPads that allow students to complete digital assignments that are self paced.
I believe that blended learning rotation stations is the model that I want to use in my classroom. This is because I have received feedback in the past from students that they enjoy working with other classmates.

1. I like the idea of making the videos and then giving assignments. I feel like this will work well with our virtual learning. I also want to create lessons in Nearpod.
2. The blended learning model that I want to use is the station rotation. My first year teaching social studies, I tried to incorporate stations, but we did not always finish them. I would like to try again and do a better job of planning them out. When we were able to do them, the students enjoyed them and retained the information better.

How do I plan to use Blended Learning in my US History classroom this school year?
I anticipate by the time its safe for us to be back in the classroom, that using the Blended Learning model will be a great tool.  We've become or will become, hopefully, experts/really good at distance learning, so folding that in with in-class instruction won't be a strange, new, idea.  I'm looking forward to continuing to use technology in the classroom, now that I'm learning more and more how to use technology in an engaging way for my students.
What Blended Learning model from module 1 best describes my desired class and why?
I think the Blended Learning Lab Rotation will work for my class, unless we are able to acquire more laptops for the classroom use.  I've already used a bit of this kind of blended learning, with practice for the Staar test.  Due to time constraints though with teaching US History, I'm not sure yet I could efficiently use this model.  I"m loving the possibilities!

Carlos Cuellar Monraz  How do you plan to use Blended Leaning in your Social Studies classroom this school year? Since I teach elementary school I would like to use the Blended Learning because of  the face to face whole group instruction and the stations in which the students can use computers, clipboards, ipads, while doing collaborative learning, individualized learning, auto-learning, etc., plus my direct intervention while the stations are taking place so that I can facilitate, monitor, etc., and once stations are done a last whole group briefing that would seal the lesson in a perfect way.            What Blended Learning model that you learned about in Module 1 best describes your desired Social Studies class and why? The Blended Learning with the online component because it would provide the students with the development of critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration, creativity, innovation and it also provides the opportunity to personalize instruction in a student centered environment.

What model best describes my desired social studies class would be creating a blended learning center rotations that incorporate technology.  I usually do center rotations but sometimes I do not  imply technology as much based on school resources but I would like to change that.  I want to continue to use Schoology, and other district appps in HUB.

I  plan to use both the blended learning and the flipped classroom models for my Social Studies this year. I believe the flipped model would work well during the remote learning since I could assign a video or reading to activate prior knowledge before the live sessions. On the other hand, the Blended Learning model is the one that best describes my SS class in the face to face modality since I can have the teacher instruction first in whole group and then send students to work in small group/centers, to finally come back again as a whole for closure. My stations can include technology, posters design, writing, role-playing, etc.

I plan to use Blended Learning in my Social Studies Class by implementing different centers. This last school year I had stations with different activities. The stations consisted of writing, projects, vocabulary, small group and technology. For virtual learning I want to implement the flex model by using Zoom, Schoology and other district apps in HUB.

1. I will recommend that our social studies teachers try the flipped approach. They can assign core instruction, like guided notes from a video, taped presentation, online reading, etc., as independent preparatory work, then use the face-to-face time for any modeling, guided practice, and clarification/feedback students might need to complete their sinker activity.

2. Blended learning lab rotation describes a desired classroom in our program because our students often need more structure. Their academic habits aren't always good, so they need that regular guidance from their teachers to ensure they're understanding and staying on track. However, allowing them to then access a variety of digital, self-paced sinker activities in the same computer lab, with their teacher there to help them, will be great because it might engage more of them in the content.

1. I plan to use blended learning during virtual learning by teaching students about a topic and then allowing them to research or create own assignment using a device and collaborate with their peers.
2. Blended learning with rotations is the model I felt would describe my desired class. This past year before COVID, I had my students working in groups to apply their learning about a topic. I feel this model would be the next step.

1.  I plan on using the blended learning model in my social studies class this year by using technology (video) to explain a concept and encourage students to answer a question on Schoology at home to challenge them to use their devices at home.
2. The Blended learning with lab rotations is a model that I have implemented in my classroom with the math content though.

1. Since I am not in the classroom this year, I see this working with helping the teacher create centers rotations in social studies. This would be something I would like to try with the teachers. Start off small and work our way.  My goal would be to help encourage our teachers to look at the different options within their teaching.
2. In Module 1 I would have to say Blended learning with center rotations due to the fact that the students are younger and we are to work with the students and build that collaboration piece with their peers and have creativity as well. It would make social studies a bit more interesting as well.

Starting the year virtually has caused me to reexamine my hybrid blended model. Previously I have included Flips, centers and even lab rotation as part of my classroom. At this time, I'm thinking that I start with a flipped model that leads the students to zoom or web ex discussion and then group work in breakout rooms. But since I haven't done that before, I'm still working on the structure on how this will look.  I just know I have to have more student to student interaction than I  had during the virtual learning at the end of the year .

How do you plan to use Blended Learning in your Social Studies classroom this school year?

This year I plan to personalize my teaching by providing my students with more internet resources, besides the applications that our School District has supplied us and I plan to follow up my students’ progress in a faster way to improve my students learning.

What Blended Learning model that you learned about in Module 1 best describes your desired classroom and why?

The Station Rotation one, because it is very inclusive, fosters collaboration and creativity, and the students can observe, explore, explain and assess their own learning.

This school year I plan to incorporate Blended learning in my Social Studies class in the same way that I have been doing with my ELA Block class: whole instructions and center and small group. I also want to continue using Schoology, SeeSaw, even Kahoot. With this been said, the Blended Learning model I would desire is Blended learning with centers rotations. I hope this year my students enjoy a lot Social Studies lessons and activities.

# data[].attributes.body
This school year being that we ended virtual and will start the same way I will continue to use Schoology, Zoom, and other tech tools. I recently learned how to do breakout rooms in Zoom, so I think this will help me with the stations. The rotation stations will work well using that new tool. I will still be able to pop in and out of the groups as if I was monitoring in the classroom.

This school year I plan to continue what I have used during my virtual learning of the Spring Semester. I will continue to use Schoology, Edpuzzle, Zoom and Flipped and other resources I will learning this coming year. The Blended Learning model that best describes my desired classroom would be the blended learning center rotations. Though I currently do have workstations I would like to incorporate more to my small groups.

# data[].attributes.body
This year I plan on continuing doing what I have been using during our first venture into virtual learning in March. I want to continue to use Schoology, Flipgrid, Edpuzzle and other platforms I plan to expose myself to help students to learn and understand the material that is being taught

# data[].attributes.body
1. This school year I intend to carry over what I am doing virtually into my blended classroom. I want to continue to use Schoology, Flipgrid, Padlet, Pear Deck, Nearpod, etc. to help students to learn and understand the material that is being taught along with teacher and student lead discussion. I enjoy collaborating myself so I know I want to implement that more for my students to continue to learn and work through challenges in a blended learning classroom.

2.  What model best describes my desired social studies class would be creating a blended learning center rotations. I did something very similar to this last year during the implementation of my ELA block and enjoyed how it was working out and it allowed more time for me to reach out to my small group of students who may have had questions or even allowed me just to hear their understanding. I think that this will work in my Social Studies class this year to hear what questions still have, but allow them to explore through different rotations and multiple avenues as well.

2.What Blended Learning model that you learned about in Module 1 best describes your desired Social Studies class and why?

This year since we know we will be virtual to start the year, My blended classroom will be virtual learning/flipped in a sense because we will be learning online, but students will be home learning. Eventually we will see teachers back in the classroom and students as well, but because I won't have too much student interactions or close proximity, it will become an even more flipped classroom.

Answer to question 1:
This school year, my plan is to incorporate blended learning into my classroom by really ramping up technology and giving assignments through schoology and having more rotations. I used rotations last year, but mostly for review. Now I want to have more student led discussions and lectures where they teach each other using the technology and collaborations to learn. Creating this flexibility learning will be helpful as we start the year in a virtual/flipped learning environment.

1.  This school year I plan on incorporating blended learning by using more technology and by using technology centers during social studies this allow students  to explore different topics.  Students will work in groups using technology to explore different topics we are learning about this will allow me to work with smaller groups of students and it will allow students to work on different activities as well.
2. The  blended learning model that best describes my classroom is Blended learning with  centers rotations because I plan on having students rotate between a technology center and different centers/ activities to complete. I plan on working with a small group of students as well.

2.What Blended Learning model that you learned about in Module 1 best describes your desired Social Studies class and why?

What model best describes my desired social studies class would be creating a blended learning center rotations that incorporate technology.  I usually do center rotations but sometimes I do not  imply technology as much based on school resources but I would like to change that.
