Hyperdocs are one of the true Redefinition tech applications for education...we can transform how students access, react to, interact with, and document their learning at their own pace and in their own way. With proper structuring this also allows for rigorous accountability and feedback through a coaching model.

Blended learning benefits our students by allowing the students to extend their learning outside of the 4 walls of our classrooms. This model can definitely lend itself to the curiosity piece of what a hyperdoc can add to the learning process.

Blended learning is tough when the technology isn't available in the school or at home. I have heard of students going to McDonald's to hook up to their free wifi on their phones in order to participate. As technology becomes more accessible, blended learning will become more important!

Hyper docs allow students a variety of choice and the ability to explore the topic at their own pace.

When students are absent the work is still there - They can go deeper if they need to, they have access to the information from any place, and parents have access

Hyperdocs and blended learning add value to the classroom because it allows students to become fully engaged in the content.  It transforms the classroom so that learning is truly student based.

For myself, one of the challenges would be the prep work. Hyperdocs are very cool, but there is a lot of time and work that is put into creating them. A challenge I would face would in the finding the time to develop hyperdocs that I can use for my class.

Using hyperdocs/blended learning is a great way to guide students so they can use their curiosity to build knowledge in their own way. I would expect that some of the students who traditionally zone out and/or misbehave during direct instruction will naturally thrive while using hyperdocs to facilitate their learning.

The blending learning model has many benefits that include engagement, and the development of higher levels of learning that help students learn and retain information.

The blended learning model also has some drawbacks that would include students technology skills, access to high speed internet, and the planning and development of lessons. Lesson design will have to model and teach skills needed to complete assignments, and this is also time consuming for planning.

No matter what kind of technology is being used, classrooms are full of rambunctious kids who need a teacher with strong classroom management skills and the ability to set a positive classroom culture.

reminds us to be mindful of tech purpose

I like the presentation to the students. I can see myself presenting a science lesson to the class with one group working with a animated simulation, another learning the vocabulary and a third working with me. It would require a little bit more time to prepare, but it would be much easier in the end. I am not sure how it would work with the non elect learners though.

It helps students to be creative.
Gives students access to different learning styles.
Biggest challenge is the time it takes to prepare - but then you have it and can update and reuse.
Second challenge is training students on the procedures of the stations.

YOU MUST prepare these stations / lessons ahead ! Key - if you want your class to run smoothly

Blended learning is a combination of face to face, online, small group, and independent learning.  Some benefits include increased student engagement, differentiation, and learning at students' own pace.
It will take more time for the instructor to prepare and set up the lessons, but once it's prepared, the teacher may be able to reuse the lessons with minor adjustments.

The way our students learn is different than it used to be. We can't keep teaching the same way. Blended learning is a combination of the traditional "Face to Face" model and Online. One of the infographics explained that innovation is driven by student learning becoming more:
1. personalized
2. engaging
3. collaborative
HyperDocs and blended learning is a way to achieve all three. It adds value to our classroom because it can be personalized, engaging, and collaborative.

I am interested in learning more about the blended learning trend of productive gaming, as this seems as if it might be powerful for some of our students.

I found that blended learning can be more engaging for students and allow them to be more in charge of their learning. I also found a cool site that was mentioned in the articles about Collaborize Classroom where students watch a video and can answer questions on it about an interesting topic. This is just an idea for maybe one station you can do in your classroom where students do that, then there can be another offline station.

I like the quote about taking baby steps.  I see the value in giving students different options for learning and will help them stay engaged.

The challenges I see are just the initial set-up of the lessons and I'm still learning/practicing with the technology components.

Takes time to prepare the stations/lessons ahead of time so that classes will maximize learning time

I read Catlin Tucker's article "Top 10 Reasons that Blended Learning is Worth the Hype". In the artifice she mentions the reasons/benefits of Blended Learning, one of which is more one on one time with students. As a middle school teacher, I definitely feel that I don't get enough individualized time with all of my students. With 5 periods in the day, each less than an hour, I often find myself just "trying to get things done" in order to get the content to my students. I would love to try more blended learning lesson opportunities in order to better serve my students and create more student/teacher time. I think this is necessary at the middle school level.

How does using hyperdocs/blended learning

add value to our classroom?

-It  allows teachers to make the most of classroom time
-It can look different in each content area and possibly even for each class period.
-It allows for individual learning, progress, and motivation.
What are our greatest challenges in utilizing these tools in the classroom?

-If your blended approach will include station rotation,course classroom furniture and size
-Just as with paper assignments, will the students complete the home assignments?
-It requires the teacher to develop activities - which would be time consuming but once it's completed you have the activity forever!

I believe that Blended Learning would be a good way to provide different ways for students to learn.  It would also continue the learning at home in a way that would benefit the student.   For example, if a student did not understand a concept, they can rewind the video and go over it again, whereas they are unable to rewind the teacher while at school!
I have used this in my own classroom - due to multiple absences, multiple times during week. What I experienced was some students did not have access to Internet - we (the school) did not have enough hotspots for students. So that was an excuse for not during assignments. Also, some students were unable to log onto the programs or something. But then again - some students just didn't care and didn't do anything!
