Students are already using a tool to learn and grow, and collaborating and working in massive groups to achieve a similar end goal. Music has the ability to bring multiple forms of education into a single classroom, so I am curious as to how a blended learning environment would involve music?]]> 2019-05-10 15:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358911419 In the areas that I teach, many types of post-secondary trainings are not done via a blended learning format. It is very much a direct instruction type setting. https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358914611 2019-05-10 15:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358914611 Stations? https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358917265 This is very similar to stations, but with Modern Teacher adverse to "stations" how is this reconciled with a blended learning class?]]> 2019-05-10 15:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358917265 https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358919537 To utilize a blended learning setting in Physical Education would be difficult. Combining classes puts roughly 80-100 students in the gym. ]]> 2019-05-10 15:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358919537 cknowles10 https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358922043 I do a lot of this in some classes, but I am struggling with giving up the more traditional discussion and reading group model for my Science Fiction  class.

So many apps / programs that do the same basic things turns Schoology into a collection of links. My classroom is becoming more and more a "flex" classroom each semester, but I'm getting a little clouded about the specification of tech tools we should be using. ecanuel https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358965314 2019-05-10 17:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358965314 I want to try blended/flex learning but... https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358982191 I have tried to introduce the ModernTeacher, student-centered model for my classroom. I fell like I did a decent amount of work communicating to the kids the benefits of them owning their learning (I was direct-instructing the benefits of student-centered classrooms, ironic), but when it came time to learn some new material, the students were all too confused and they asked me to, "just teach us because it makes more sense the way you explain it." 

I would need some time to allow the kids to take on their own cognitive load and not rely on me as the sole resource for answering questions.]]> 2019-05-10 17:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358982191 Fle https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358984376 2019-05-10 17:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358984376 Flex learning is nothing new.

I have been working on blended leaning a teeny tiny bit at a time. I would like to go to Sand Creek and observe this in action, though. klopez48 https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358986229 2019-05-10 18:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mlriggs/6nwg76x5ix8t/wish/358986229
