Why should we focus on blended learning? by EUN Partnership aisbl

In the present circumstances, blended learning is necessary due to distance learning and class learning activities.

Beatriz_Sousa7 — 2021-03-29 10:11:12 UTC

In today's day and age I think it's important for teachers to be able to adapt and overcome certain issues. It's important that we explore more ways of teaching and learning.
I hope that blended learning will help me become a better professional and also help my students learn.

This pandemic has made us face many challenges - distance teaching, classical teaching, combining techniques, looking for methods which work and most importantly for us as educators, learn more, be more flexible and open-minded. It´s not been easy though. My hope is that in this course I will learn how to search for and adopt new ways of teaching, ballancing distance/non-distance teaching and I am looking forward to getting inspiration from my fellow educators from around the world.

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

2021-03-29 10:20:30 UTC

I work in adult education. The impossibility to move throughout Italy totally stopped our courses and we had to reflect on how to move them online (some of our courses require onsite labs).
Strating from this experience, I would like to learn how to use this new know-how in designing courses that could have the advantages of asynchronous learning.

New type of learners

olgagp35 — 2021-03-29 10:23:47 UTC

Apart from the situation with the pandemic, blended learning is something that students need to as learners. Before teaching online I was thinking and trying to find ways to get students more engaged in their own learning. Teaching in class with a teacher centered model and sending them home to revise and produce is not something that students of our age can cope with or not feel bored with. Kids need new challenges in their learning and I have seen that every time I use something new in my teaching, it attracts their attention and they absorb the information better.

Help in the particular circumstances

2021-03-29 10:25:08 UTC

I am eager to find the proper educators, who will let m know what are the most appropriate methods to strengthen students psychologically and simultaneously not deprive them of pure knowledge.

Not only the present situation requires it, but also the students development and the technology impose it. It is very difficult to engage students nowadays only using traditional methods, so we need to upgrade ourselves so that students can take active role in learning.

Searching for benefits of pandemic

panagiotoglou2 — 2021-03-29 10:29:27 UTC

Because of the pandemic we learned mixed distance learning. On this occasion we were "forced" to get in touch with our students from a distance, to teach as best we could based on our experiences and need, but above all to experience the benefits of blended learning, which I believe will greatly change teaching and learning from now on, especially when we return to the normalcy of our schools and lives!

I would like to learn how to implement blended learning techniques in the Classroom and which technics are the most beneficial for students.

2021-03-29 10:33:12 UTC

I am interested in implementing blended learning techniques in order to use them in my lessons . I have a feeling, that from now on, all students will be more active if we use such techniques

Educational revolution!

2021-03-29 10:36:26 UTC

The current education system is old, and in need of serious overhaul. problem is, we don't know how to properly make it better. Children need to learn how to be innovative, creative, critical. But we, as teachers, need to lead the way by doing the same. We can't expect children to have qualities we do not even express ourselves.

I believe we need to broaden our view, and blended learning can definitely help with that.

2021-03-29 10:42:05 UTC

In general terms, blended learning combines the online delivery of educational content with the best features of classroom interaction and live instruction in such a way as to personalize learning, allow thoughtful reflection, and differentiate instruction from student to student .
I hope that blended learning will help me become a better professional and also help my students learn.

We do hope that this pandemic will finish as soon as possible. However I do believe that after this experience nothing will be the same and as a teacher I know that I should use this opportunity to improve my strategies and use digital tools to create innovative ways of managing my English classes. Teaching a foreign language is always very challenging but I have realized that blended learning can be very useful to involve and motivate students in their learning process

2021-03-29 10:47:10 UTC

I think that blended learning gives us more options how to encourage our students to think, be creative and express their own opinions and ideas. Now, as a teacher, I sit in front of the computer for more than a year and think how to change the content of my subjects into more attractive way. Technical issues (whether my students have a PC or just a mobile phone, are they able to work with them, are they able to connect me via internet) makes me really think about what and how we learn. I hope that I find methods and ways how to keep the students active and motivated eventhough I see them only through the webcam.

Why should we focus on blended learning?

2021-03-29 10:49:24 UTC

i think it is useful for distance learning not only for the present circumstanses, with COVI-!(, but for any kind of learning.

Future of education

elsafernandes07081978 — 2021-03-29 10:50:58 UTC

I believe that Blended learning is the future of education, regardless of the moment we are living. I have lots of students learning online, and I have totally changed the way I teach. I use lots of digital resources. Students are used to them and actually love them. Some of my students have actually improved which just proves my point. Blended learning is the future of education.

Blended learning

helena_santos1965 — 2021-03-29 10:51:56 UTC

I think that blended learning is a opportunity to all schools. With blended learning we can provide to our students resources and activities that will enrich teaching.

Blended learning

daisydegio — 2021-03-29 10:51:57 UTC

I think covid-19 gave us the opportunity to experiment new techniques connected to technology. As teachers we must keep up with progress because this is the future of education. We must try to get the most of it, never forgetting the empathetic dimension which characterizes education. Let's find the right balance!
Daisy, Italy

Blended learning approach

2021-03-29 10:55:27 UTC

The pandemic has made it explicitly clear, that we as educators need to adapt and enhance our educational methods through technology. Students should not experience a dip in the educational quality because of the need of online education.

Tihana Svoren Kolarec, Croatia

2021-03-29 10:56:11 UTC

I think that blended learning gives us new opportunities. It can help teachers and students (if done properly). I know that many people feel that this pandemic situation is damaging the students because they have to learn from home in front of the computers. But if we change our mindset and try to find silver linings maybe this can be a good thing. I have to say that I am the happiest when I am in the classroom with my students but I accept the benefits of the online opportunities in teaching. I feel even more connected with my students because they can reach me more easily when they have questions ( we respect boundaries), and I can help them more. We have a student that is very ill and she often missed the classes which made it difficult for her to learn. Now she can be more involved and keep up with the curriculum. Maybe this is what 21st century teaching will be all about, so let's be ready for it.

The Change!

2021-03-29 10:56:31 UTC

The pandemic found a school that was trying to change but had a hard time breaking with the past.Now is the time to change the school once and for all, we cannot go back. Learning is a blend of experiences that cannot be concentrated solely in a classroom. we have to diversify and be creative in the process of teaching and learning, blending the interaction of the old school with the tools of the pandemic school.

B-learning in teacher training

2021-03-29 10:58:25 UTC

Nowadays, there is a debate regarding teacher training: Is it essential to train teachers in-person? Is it better for them to do it at their own pace? I think a combination of both should be adopted. We all know there are different kinds of learners, and in my opinion, we should add a new one which is the digital learner. We are living the era of self training, we have access to a lot of information and tutorials to learn anything we are interested in, but we shouldn´t forget the emotional aspect, which is essential to any development. I would like with this course to be able to choose succsesfully how to teach what I want to teach, in and out of the classroom, since I will go back teaching in the primary school.
Lucía Fernández, Spain.

Online learning

director181 — 2021-03-29 11:04:03 UTC

Online learning has been essential during Covid but does not adequately replace face to face interactions. However, it can enhance our classroom interactions and become part of a blend that improves teaching, engagement and learning.

Τhe transition

2021-03-29 11:05:14 UTC

Once the pandemic is over, we will return to school teaching. Our students during this period have been able to develop some digital skills that they need to improve and maintain after the end of this situation. Our goal should be the combination of multiple learning methods to help our students!

New normal

2021-03-29 11:06:19 UTC

I think blended learning will be the new normal. Online teaching gives us a lot of opportunities and combining it with face-to-face teaching will help teachers to improve their classes.

Considering the challenge and looking for the change

pgiannakas — 2021-03-29 11:06:56 UTC

Considering a motivated and enriched learning process that will inspire and meet primary school-aged pupils' needs and expectations, it will be interesting to meet the advantages of blending learning, towards advance learning outcomes.

The era of e learning

dora_glaraki — 2021-03-29 11:11:53 UTC

We entered the era of e learning under the utter pressure of covid pandemic with no specific preparation and very poor experience of using online teaching. Consequently we mainly use our paedagogical techniques tested for face to face teaching. These techniques grow inadequate. The students are less and less interest in on line courses. So I feel the urgent need to use more efficient techniques to stimulate my students interest. And I hope that this course will provide me with such techniques.

Digital education, digital learning were emergency strategies in 2020, in 2021 they become naturals. I want to be a good teacher and I want my students to be happy and to learn by pleasure, not because I said so.

2021-03-29 11:11:58 UTC

New reality

2021-03-29 11:13:08 UTC

Covid - online learning - I don't think that we will ever return to the classroom as it was pre-Covid, pre-lockdown. We have new tools and a new reality, and we should embrace them!

Accepting challenges

2021-03-29 11:14:09 UTC

I find this pandemic time challenging and not necessarily just bad. Blended learning seems like an answer to this challenge. It means we have to change our practices because times are changing.

Juan Bosco Camón

Rui Carvalho, Portugal

ruimbtc — 2021-03-29 11:15:51 UTC

With the investment made in the training of students and teachers for distance learning, because of Covid-19, this is an opportunity to take advantage of student involvement and bet on B_Learning, as it allows students to develop new skills and diversify more and more the forms of teaching and learning.

I remember the first time I was introduced to this term was six years ago -during my university studies- but unfortunately it wasn't that active. Now I believe it is the solution during this school closures and we have to adopt it if we really want to move towards student-centered classroom.

Foteini Karra

karrafay — 2021-03-29 11:18:01 UTC

Distance teaching or forced remote teaching? For how long? All the seminars are based on teaching us how to use the platforms but not on how to adapt to the new way of teaching. My students are getting less and less motivated to participate and I get more and more frustrated. I hope that blended learning will help me embrace all the new ideas and opportunities offered.

anavrytersmun — 2021-03-29 11:21:56 UTC

Blended learning seems to be a term that is here to stay. In fact I would go as far as to say that Covid was actually an eye-opener for education. First of all it proved how unprepared we were to face a "digital" era of learning-teaching. Secondly, for those teaching exclusively online it was a great opportunity to explore the infinite tools offered to use in the virtual classroom. Yet, I think that although teaching seems to be quite fun in a digital context, it remains to be seen if students are actually learning, processing the plethora of information offered and making thr most of these new circumstances.

Mariella Porter

mmkporterabdilla1 — 2021-03-29 11:24:14 UTC

stops the 'culture' of typical teaching, learning and assessing. It gives a breath of fresh air.

Learning beyond borders

2021-03-29 11:24:46 UTC

After the Covid-19 pandemic, teaching practice, as we know it, will alter to adjust to the demands of the new era that has yet to come. Blended learning provides multidimensional and enriching experiences for students, especially the younger ones who need to be primarily motivated and thinking positively as it comes to learning. It is well known that the more practical an activity is, the more understandable and memorable can become for children, and even more in cases where they can use all of their senses. Additionally, blended learning should be considered as a useful and alternative teaching tool in the Special Education field, in which most of the time adjustments and interesting practical activities are required for a more effective learning experience. So, I think blended learning could overcome a variety of challenges (e.g. communication challenges) and benefit students with different learning profiles.

Esther Delgado. New changes

estherdcdc — 2021-03-29 11:26:34 UTC

The pandemic has changed our life, not only our ways of teaching but also when learning. During the last school year we had to focus all of our efforts as teachers towards making our students learn online with no warning. A realization I´ve had is that they no longer have the same motivation and are more tired when online classes are held. That is the main reason I enrolled this course, to find techniques and new tools to encourage and motivate my students when we´re online.

Igor CROATIA

igor_nikicic — 2021-03-29 11:29:43 UTC

Blended learning is the future. Not only web/live but the mixture of pedagogical approaches and learning environments is the only way to beat the level of information input to kids minds from their everyday usage of smartphones, media an etc.

Why blended learning/teaching?

2021-03-29 11:29:58 UTC

-to deal with the challenges of online learning/teaching;
- to promote learners' autonomy;
- to allow for more research and for the development of R&E skills;
- to diversify strategies;
- to meet learners' interests ( social media platforms, new apps...).

Pandemic is an opportunity to look at the learning process with different eyes, from a different angles. We need to teach students to learn independently, plan their activities, self-assess. Our students have problems with motivation, self-control yet. It would be good to suggest options for solving the problems.

Blended Learning

profpaulavieira — 2021-03-29 11:35:04 UTC

These terrible times will, certainly, have serious social, economical and emotional consequences in everyone's lives. On one hand, we became tired of being isolated facing screens and technology every minute, on the other hand the situation taught us that we can be creative, autonomous, collaborative and flexible. Regarding teaching methods, I believe I have learned much more in one year than in several years of my career. I was forced to explore, to search, to share with my peers in a very short period of time and that enabled me to use different tools, perspectives and techniques to reach my students effectively. In a blended teaching/learning environment, all these achievements will certainly be helpful. In fact, they have already made a difference because they made me aware that I need to reflect and explore more about these issues and that is why I enrolled this course.

Blended learning thoughtfully integrates traditional face-to-face and fully online instructional components in order to take advantage of both learning environments and better address the diverse learning styles of the students.

Ana de Melo, Portugal

2021-03-29 11:47:18 UTC

In the face of the present situation and the uncertainties about the future, blended learning seems to be the compromising solution for the future of education. So far, for the last year since the beginning of the pandemic, we have taken a hybrid approach to teaching: face to face lessons with online lessons for some students, remote teaching during emergency contexts ... , and we are still on the learning process of how to do it right.

I think that, on the one hand, the blender model gives the student the opportunity to go at their own way of learning while also giving the opportunity to those who cannot attend classes continuously.
On the other hand, it is evident that the pandemic has put us at one end of the teaching, and we need tools to motivate the student while they remain at home.

José Carlos Mairos - Portugal

josemairos — 2021-03-29 11:59:05 UTC

The feeling of the need to change something also extends to the teaching of physical education. My students' interests and needs have been changing, and I feel the need to accompany this change. From what I have researched and experienced, blended learning can be a good solution for the necessary changes.

Charikleia Mamona, Greece

mamoxara — 2021-03-29 12:00:54 UTC

We learned in school closure and the immediate needs that created by the pandemic that students benefit from blended learning. Blended learning provides to us, teachers, more opportunities to personalise the learning process of our students and can increase their motivation and self-direction. Blended learning can be an important step towards a better education where the learner –student stands at the centre of an active learning process.

Celal SARAÇ, Turkey

2021-03-29 12:08:07 UTC

Students' active participation and interaction amongst the parties of teaching and learning activities have been more important and more required than ever before during distance education caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Thus, as teachers leading education service and process we need to find better ways of ensuring interaction and active participation of stundents in online classes. So, we need to learn better and more effective ways of teaching to attract students' attention and to make teaching&learning activites more engaging.

I think that Blending Learning approaches will help us create a more students centered and competence based teaching and learning environment paving the way for interactive teaching and learning activites during classes.

Blended education works to provide the required educational material in many different ways that allow to students choosing the appropriate method for the their learning, which helps in obtaining the information in a consistent and clear manner. In addition to providing an educational environment in which various opportunities for encouraging cooperation between students, developing positive trends towards the educational material. Blended Learning also contributes to providing students with the opportunity to express their ideas and providing them with sufficient time to participate in the classroom, and to search for facts and information by a variety of different means, and given the evaluation methods, it works to provide many different evaluation methods, including formative and final, which contributes to Achieving justice in evaluating students' performance.

Blended learning is an important educational approach it combines online teaching materials and opportunities for interaction with traditional place-based classroom methods, it is focused on lifelong and professional learning.

ilkay GÜNAYDIN I think that I can be more beneficial to my students with blended learning, it is even more possible to do activities that will attract their attention with the use of technology. In this way, our communication skills will be stronger.

Blended learning certainly helps me during the COVID pandemic to present current material to students using a variety of methods. Regardless of the pandemic, blended learning helps to create creative teaching and creative materials so otherwise such an approach should be practiced.

Irena, Lithuania

vaivadaitei — 2021-03-29 12:27:39 UTC

I take blended learning as a near future. Yes, it has a lot of challenges, is nor easy acceptable for both sides taking part in learning process. But it opens much more opportunities for teachers than distance learning and hopefully, raise students 'motivation.

Aspasia Mylona

Aspasiam — 2021-03-29 12:37:25 UTC

As my experience through distance learning and eTwinning implementation has shown, blended learning that combines face to face learning to distance learning leads to a more accurately assess of the student’s knowledge. That enables us to differentiate learning linked to student's unique needs and teach concepts more efficiently even to a "slow" student. Besides this an other advantage is the fact that the used material (presentations, games, escape rooms, problem solving cases. quizzes, etc) remains online and can be practiced by students at their own pace, help on improving the efficacy and efficiency of the teaching and learning process.
Last but not least, I have to mention that students are used to technology. If we are creative while preparing our material and try to present it in an interesting and more attractive way for our students they will also be more creative, engaged, and motivated. Unfortunately in our school, it's difficult to make use of technology in class. Thus blended learning could also help on this and finally we'll achieve the knowledge in a more fun, no stressed way promoting a deeper learning.

Eduardo, Israel

While I had had experience using Moodle to complement )and supplement= my Face-to-Face meetings with my High School pupils, when we had to instantly switch to fully online teaching and learning, I had to find more ways to engage my pupils. I have gained more experience as a result, but learning here and from colleagues will surely help me do better. We should focus on Blended Learning because it is part and parcel of our jobs as teachers. I doubt we will go back to only Face-to -
Face learning in a physical classroom.

Eleni Lefkaditi, Greece

2021-03-29 12:39:20 UTC

It seems that blended learning is about the future. The opportunities provided develop students' key competences. At the same time, when as a teacher you can create an optimal learning environment for your students to achieve the educational goals by using the appropriate methodology, you feel more effective in your effort!

Blended learning had always been to merge or blend two forms of learning together including technology, now with enforcing distance learning, the urge and conceptualization of blended learning took a bit different detour. Could be a blend of various instructional strategies used by designers.

I think that that By focusing on the blended learning , we can teach our student new methods to be self learners . From that , they won't depend completely on their teachers , they will start to search and try to know more and more . Using the blended learning ,we can find the best solutions for the gap which happened in the teaching process through the period of covid 19 .

Maryam Abualghanam / Jordan

2021-03-29 13:06:29 UTC

In my opinion, in 2019, when Covid-19 appeared, our students were forced to bid farewell to their schools and sit at home, deprived of access to education, and because the future is unknown, we cannot know what is in store for us from surprises that may be worse than Covid-19. We may also have to stop teaching. Therefore, we must precede the unknown with steps to preserve the permanence and continuity of education for us and our students, especially that the future belongs to them.

Focus on blended learning to encourage the change in Teachers' mentality on the student-centred learning. Kristina Grigaitė-Bliūmienė, Lithuania

kristinagrigaitebliumiene — 2021-03-29 13:09:52 UTC

The 21st century has fostered a need for a completely different approach towards the education process. It is very joyful that at least 50 percent of colleagues have been learning and are engaged to being change-responsive.
The change in our as teachers' mentality is already taking place. We have learnt how to use ICT. The greatest challenge how to make this work for the educational purposes in a blended involving face-to-face and bridiging online learning. As ICT and kinds of learning are only tools and facilitators.
E.g. now there has emerged a possibility at the university level that students can collect their subjects -credits and gain a diploma according to that, soon the secondary school students apart from the compulsory subjects at a national level, will be able to learn with no boarders -e.g. English In the USA, Physics in Switzerland, etc.
Tp conclude with, blended inclusive learning already is and will be one of the key strategies for the future education.

Aggeliki Babatsikou, Kryoneri Greece

My opinion for blended learning as far its aims are concerned is, to encourage teachers to be inspiring for their students. To give them new paths to pass through, new ways to think. By blended learning, teachers must inspire students and at the same time these teachers must be encouraged to improve their skills so as to get better

Carla Freitas - Portugal

2021-03-29 13:14:30 UTC

Form me blended learning combines face to face learning to distance learning which leads to a more accurately assess of the student’s knowledge. I think blended learning can be more beneficial to my students and it makes it even more possible to do activities that will attract their attention because of the use of technology. This strengthens our communication skills and provides opportunities to develop students' key competences.
At the same time, you create better learning environments for your students to achieve the educational goals by using the appropriate methodology. We can get to all the students at their own pace of work and learning. By diversifying the material you use (ebooks, audiobooks, presentations, games, Quizzes and so on) you make the learning process more interesting and attractive.
Another thing they love is when you teach by example and show them that you’ve also accomplished the same task.

Adriana Florescu - Spain I am interested in adopting a blended learning approach because it breaks down the traditional walls of teaching, that don't work for all students and now with access to present-day technologies and resources we can tailor the learning experience for each student. The challenges I hope it will help me overcome are: -The uses of apps, games, or measurable programs to teach concepts that allow students to engage the material at their own pace. -Increasing student engagement in learning -More flexible teaching and learning environment. -Retaining my Authenticity as a teacher -Creating an Effective Self-Paced Learning Environment

We should focus on the blended learning because this kind of learning give our students the opportunity to be self learners . They give them the chance to be different and to build their knowledge from their recourses without depending completely on their teachers

Blended Learning

2021-03-29 13:21:53 UTC

Blended Learning is a new reality to which we must adapt, motivate and integrate, i.e. "leave no one behind". It is a window of opportunity that allows us a completely different dynamic. To innovate by creating new learning and knowledge resources, we need to interact with our peers so that the exchange of ideas and knowledge enriches our daily practice.

Blended learning is useful for many reasons. It combines different teaching approaches and therefore adapts to various learning styles and makes learning interactive thanks to the use of technology. In the year 2020 during the pandemic and at the current time online learning helps teachers and students connect and interact from home. Promoting and improving blended learning in schools can contribute to creating an engaging and efficient environment.

The need to develop the educational process appeared before the Covid 19 pandemic due to the development of the tremendous and industrial technology and the pursuit of the world's countries towards a knowledge economy and the acquisition of the skills of the twenty-first century, so it was necessary to focus on the human element, and they are the main pillar of development in every age and time, and interest in it begins since childhood This has prompted officials, thinkers and others to devise new strategies and methods in which the student depends on and develops his desire for self-learning and acquiring knowledge and skill (critical thinking, innovation and creativity) and is a source of this change in a way that contributes to achieving his ambitions, refining his talents and focusing on his capabilities Developmental characteristics) As for the teacher, he is here to facilitate, direct, support and motivate students

I think all teachers need to be familiar with blended learning methods as they help create a more constructive and supportive environment for students.Blended learning also extends the amount of learning time outside the classroom by engaging and motivating students to interact and build knowledge.

The blended learning approach is the future of the learning process because it breaks down the traditional walls of teaching. I'm really focused with this educational program that combines teaching methods of the traditional classroom and online learning and promotes autonomy by giving students the tools they need to become self learners.

Daniela, Italy

My class, this year, is particularly difficult because there are many children with learning difficulties and some very bright children. I must therefore adopt teaching methods that allow everyone to proceed with learning. I think that a blended learning approach is useful to be able to involve all pupils and to help children who cannot work with traditional textbooks. I think it is useful for me too. It's a different way to teach and it's a good way to improve the motivation in students and teacher, it's more attractive. And creative!

I strongly beleive that blended learning is the future of teaching/learning ,not only beacuse this period of the pandemic proved it to us , but also because it combines classroom and online education as well.All of us as teachers we use the technology either to prepare our material or to present it , so we are already using the technology we need.In addition all our students use the techonoly to interact with their firends,family members etc. So Blended learning/teaching techniques gives us the opportunity to use the prior knowledge (ours and our students) to build a new teaching model , with the combination of inside class and outside class presence in order to reach and teach students more effectively. Ideally, each (both online and off) will complement the other by using its particular strength.

Filipe Teixeira, Portugal

Blended learning allows applying methodologies that focus the learning process on the student, leading to the development of skills, autonomy and critical thinking. It is a way of working that allows greater flexibility, more interaction (among students and between students and teacher), promoting greater motivation.

From my point of view blended learning is the future of learning/education. We are working with generation that was born in digital world. They are familiar to digital technologies and for them is easier to learn through a combination of traditional and digital methods. It helps us to highlight the features of shy students that usually are less active in a classroom. From this course i hope to learn more methods and blended learning techniques

leone_daniela — 2021-03-29 14:26:13 UTC

As more variable are the students and the environmental conditions, as more the school should adapt to reach its educational purposes.
Using a unique approach can be suitable only to a restricted number of students and to a limited time.
This is why we should project a flexible learning environment and use multiple pedagogical approaches, alternating activities in order to keep students engaged.
If school becomes a repetition of the same model every day, this can decrease both students and teachers motivation; moreover, students who don't find a positive experience can end to give up.

Paula Navarro, Portugal

2021-03-29 14:26:20 UTC

on combined learning allows us, as teachers, to explore different ways of teaching what can lead us to better capture students' attention. On the other hand, all students are different and have different ways of learning soon, if we vary the ways of teaching, there will be a greater probability that we can reach students who learn better visually, experimentally, analyzing texts, doing research, working in groups...

Elpis Chochliourou, Greece

chochliourou — 2021-03-29 14:29:02 UTC

Breaking free of the 19th century "factory" model of education is crucial nowadays. This type of engagement allows students freedom to choose what they want to get involved with, how to make it known to the rest and at the same time gives the opportunity to the teacher to facilitate the needs of the learner with care. Transition is not easy as most things, but I believe that we will soon enough acknowledge the empowering role and focus of blended learning in our societies that are overwhelmed with information. Each of us is unique and we should concentrate on our strengths and learning paths that suit us best; blended learning is about customisation.

Technology creates lots of new ways to teach in a way that is motivating and efficient at the same time. During Corona students discovered the freedom of organizing their studies according to their own pace and needs. Teachers developed new and innovative ways to make the teaching subject more lively, interesting participative for learners and more personalized. We should grab this opportunity with both hands and go on innovating education to actual standards.

if there was anything positive about this 🤬 pandemic, it was the forced computerization of teaching processes. So in an abrupt way all teachers / students and other stakeholders, have developed digital skills that allow us to approach teaching in a different way! The challenge now is to enhance these skills and develop and deepen teaching and learning techniques so that support is more individualized and effectively adapted to the needs / difficulties of each student.

Creating new materials, inventing new relations, solving connecting difficulties...all this means that another way is possible and it is worth trying it.

Blended learning allows students to personalise their learning experiences by using additional tools beyond the classroom. Learners can identify areas that need more attention and personalise their learning schedule to accommodate this. Teachers can also use blended learning methods to enhance their lessons. This is a modernised way of teaching that can have a positive impact on a student’s training experience. This type of learning prepares students to work at digital based jobs that require technology proficiencies.

Lintle Moswatsi, Lesotho

2021-03-29 15:36:28 UTC

I live in a rather "fast" generation and technology is the center of life nowadays and as a teacher, I am forced to move out of my comfort zone and utilise these various technology tools there are now. So I believe students learn best in a conducive, fun and lively environment (that is, through their phones, laptops, tablets etc) and at their own pace, therefore, it is very vital to indulge in online learning in order to allow for students to best express themselves.

However, I also am a teacher in a community of mixed social and economic backgrounds. That is to say, I have different kinds of students in my class, from different family and social backgrounds and religion so I am often forced to bring myself as a human to each and everyone of my students' situation. Whether rich or poor, fast or slow learner, motivated or demotivated. These are some of the situations I have to understand with my kids. So I often prefer being with them personally (in the classroom) and see them, feel them, and just be readily available to respond to their needs hence I find in-person teaching/learning also very vital.

I suppose, as much as online learning platforms are necessary these days, face to face classes are also important and by blending the two, it gives me an opportunity to reach out to all my learners and bring out the best in them academically, socially and emotionally. Blended learning also motivates me to use different teaching approaches and this is very useful in my profession as it allows me to ensure that every learner is catered for and their learning capacities are explored.

In order to keep our students motivated and eager to lear, we should leave the traditional calssroom and take them out to explore the world around them and learn from real contexts. It's been proven that today's students are multitasking and just keeping them sat on a chair listening to their teachers is no longer appealling. Apart from using all the technology available nowadays, we should be capable of taking advantage of real situations to make them learn. Moreover blended learning allows the students the possibility of adjusting their learning processo to their own interests making it more useful (at their eyes).

I think that blended learning gives us more options how to encourage our students to think, be creative and express their own opinions and ideas. Now, as a teacher, I sit in front of the computer for more than a year and think how to change the content of my subjects into more attractive way. Technical issues (whether my students have a PC or just a mobile phone, are they able to work with them, are they able to connect me via internet) makes me really think about what and how we learn. I hope that I find methods and ways how to keep the students active and motivated eventhough I see them only through the webcam.

The need to incorporate new , revolutionary methods in my teaching is of primary importance for me. I first delved into this 'blending' mode some years ago in an attempt to arouse my students' interest in the physical class and ensure that both parties (me and my students) abandon their 'comfort zones'. And since this first experiment was proven successful , I decided to adopt blended learning in my teaching long before this was imposed by external conditions such as the current pandemic. Blended learning is undoubtedly the 'new normal' whether we like it or not. Via it, students assume control of their own learning, take initiatives, become more focused and excited , enhance their digital skills and end up becoming more strategic ,adaptive and flexible as human beings. Of course, the challenge is great. But there is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

Never before has it been as necessary to focus on all the innovative methodological forms that can support and promote learning, like now . The forced distance forces us to rethink methods and tools. For years I have been involved in eTwinning projects and this experience has certainly favored me in dealing with this problematic situation. The pandemic has created a vey complicated situation for everyone: families, pupils, teachers. The blended methodology combined with the use of captivating tools that favor the creative approach to learning is of enormous help. We can be more flexible and effective at the same time . I hope to learn much more about blended methodologies

Mª Lourdes Sánchez Delgado

Although I am not a “digital native” (Mark Prensky), for many years I have been aware of the need to teach with new technologies in order to provide  new generations with a good training. For several years, I have spent time with students, even in kintergarden, working with computers, blogs and virtual classrooms. It is through new technologies that learning in the classroom is linked with learning anywhere outside.
A great advantage of the use of technologies is above all the access to the contents and the research possibilities that they allow us. It also enables cooperative work through document editing, presentations, digital books, and websites. Blended Learning involves developing the competence of learning to learn and the ability to guide one's own  learning. Working with new technologies allows access to content and cooperative activities that open up new possibilities for individual and team interaction and learning for students.

Caterina Fantini - Italy

caterina_fantini1 — 2021-03-29 16:49:32 UTC

It has become clear that blended learning is here to stay. It allows students to stay in touch with their learning even when at home, to study and learn at their own pace, to get motivated and participate in a more active way. In order to get most of this model, both teachers and students need to be trained. We, teachers, need to redesign our course material so as to meet our students needs and students need to train in order to take control of their own learning. It's also crucial that we develop our students' digital literacy!!!

Blended learning combines online and in-class lessons, offering the advantages of both practices. The use of technology can help teachers create more interesting lessons that promote personalized learning so that students can study and do tasks online at their own time and pace. During the face-to-face teaching, teachers can provide extra help and support, if needed and assign more complex tasks. Peer learning, peer evaluation, flip classroom are techniques that put the student in the centre of learning.

Sandra Mangas, Spain. During the pandemic, I discovered a new way of teaching. I know it is not a popular opinion, but I was quite pleased with online teaching. I mean, I missed the students, seeing their faces and talking to them face to face, but I would say that both parties were quite happy with online, project-based learning, like we did last year. I cannot go back to the teacher I was before, and I want to take the best of both worlds: online and face-to-face learning. We'll see! :) I am willing to learn a lot from you all :)

Blended learning is very important to me because it change the traditional way of teaching, ones that don't work for all pupils and now with access to new technologies and resources we can design the learning experience for each pupil. When pupil can complete assignments on their own, they can come to class with the same knowledge level. There is more time for fruitful discussions and ready to practice what they have learned, which makes at the end traditional training more valuable!

mariareth236 — 2021-03-29 17:08:52 UTC

I think that during the pandemic teachers have been forced to discover or invent new methods of teaching. Combining methods and ideas will be the future of teaching, so blended learning is what all teachers should be aware of. Online teaching is different from what we used to practise, but we can keep some positive aspects of it and adapt our lessons to our students' needs.

Duarte, Portugal

duarte_djduarte — 2021-03-29 17:11:03 UTC

I believe that after the experience of distance learning imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the educational community has become aware of the importance of the use of technological resources in education and of the added value of both the use of these resources and the advantages of more autonomous learning levels.
The adoption of hybrid learning systems, which combine moments of autonomous learning with moments of more directed learning, with follow-up and monitoring of the teacher, especially in the moments of application of learning, can be very beneficial for learning and for the development of students' autonomy.
I believe, however, that the number and duration of autonomous learning moments should be proportional to the age of the students. Younger pupils should have more and longer face-to-face learning moments than older pupils with greater autonomous learning abilities.

The positive impact of the pandemic on education has been to put everyone, even the most nostalgic and reluctant, in front of the evidence that the traditional way of teaching is no longer enough, at least not alone. In necessity we had to discover new potential, also to make the lessons more inclusive, suitable for every type of educational need. I believe we will never go back, this will be the positive legacy of this global tragedy. I hope that this renewed mental openness and availability for training will help us to better connect what we teach in the classroom with what our children need to know and know how to do in daily life and for their future as people and professionals. I'm planning to make my lessons more practical and let my students interact with people from our territory, experts, workers, professionals also using digital coonections.

Distance learning emerged in our daily routine during the pandemic . We discovered new tools new methods of teaching , we felt proud of ourselves and exhausted at the same time. Our students were really impressed in the beginning but as the time was passing they missed their classroom their classmates and their interest.
Since distance learning is here to stay , I believe that only a blended learning method would offer the necessary stimuli to students to discover knowledge and get the education they need.
Only a combination of distance and face to face teaching will increase the motivation both to students and teachers.

Blended learning provides opportunities at the teaching and learning level, with practices of activation and interaction between teachers and students and students with each other. The combination of different learning environments can make it an extremely efficient method. At the same time, it can ensure diversity in educational materials,flexibility in the learning process and active participation of students.

Blended learning helps me to change my point of view as teacher. It is a method which allows students to be more confident, independent and engaged and it combines the face to face learning and distance learning. I discovered this method during the pandemic, but I am willing to learn more about it and discover new tools. This is the challenge.

Blended learning is something we need anyhow, even after the pandemic is over. Students need to be more involved in their learning and to be active participants not just listeners. They need to prove themselves and we should try to motivate them, which I find is the most difficult part of the job.If we manage to "hook" them, then things become easy.
I try to mix different approaches so that they can feel part of their learning process, this involves using traditional methods and tools together with new technologies. The best thing to improve motivation and capture their interest is to use a PBL approach. Working on projects is stimulating especially if they have an audience and when they realize that the teacher doesn't know all the answers and is learning together with them.

Blended learning helps us as educators to provide students with lifelong learning. With the shift to distance learning in our schools, blended learning has become an urgent necessity

Gordana, Croatia

2021-03-29 18:07:26 UTC

During my online teaching I encountered some problems such as students' motivation and the use of technology for educational purpose. The main reason why I want to include blended learning is to help my students stay motivated during these difficult period and to change their perspective towards learning.

In our school there are students from 18 different countries. Each one has a different level of understanding greek language. But they also have different ways of learning. To respect that we need to find new learning strategies like using various types of learning and supporting material. In this way I hope to make everyone feel accepted as one is and to be happy. The next step is to open up and then try to give one's best.

The current situation is forcing us to teach in different ways and blended learning is definitely one of them.

Manuela, Portugal

manf511 — 2021-03-29 18:32:08 UTC

The changes we've been adjusting to everywhere must necessarily also be adjusted in teaching. It becomes more and more obvious that the learning process must occur in many different places, in different ways and using different strategies so the blended learning makes more sense than ever.

During school closures, due to the pandemic, online teaching has become an indispensible part of education. The pros and cons are open to discussion but a blended way of teaching will probably the ideal way of education. To motivate students to attend and engage during lessons we have to increase our digital skills, upgrade suitable teaching techniques, equip students with learner autonomy. Unless every student has the equal access to internet and technology Blended learning seems to be the best solution .

Blended learning is a two-fold method of achieving one's goals: on one hand, there is actual presence in the physical classroom, on the the other hand, this presence is continued and enriched in a virtual setting. The corona virus situation put this dual possibility forward, yet it is a stake: promising as it may sound, it should be inclusive to prove successful.

Due to Covid-19 and the consequent school closure, online teaching is practically the only way to go on with the teaching-learning process. However, going back in the real life classroom is getting closer and closer. As educators, we must realise that blending the traditional classroom lesson with the digital classroom is inevitable. Therefore, let's develop our digital skills because we will need them...

Eleni, Volos, Greece

2021-03-29 18:54:18 UTC

Blended learning can be beneficial in a lot of cases. Firstly, it is a flexible way to gap the distance between school and home, especially at Covid-19 periods. Furthermore, blended learning gives the opportunity to the students to take more responsibilities, as far as their own learning process is concerned.

sonyayarmouk — 2021-03-29 19:04:54 UTC

Using blending learning nowadays is very important and without it there is no learning. Focusing on it can bring students to use variety of resources and materials to attain long life learning as well as it can help the teaching process to be much easier for teachers. It also increases opportunity for students to connect with their teacher without barriers. I joined this course to learn more about this topic.

During the pandemic, I first started exploring online teaching and it was really hard in the beginning, both for students and teachers. Now I am even seeing some benefits of distance learning. I would like to learn more about blended learning as I would like to do more project based work with my students, and especially some eTwinning projects.

Snježana Kovačević, Croatia

knjiznica_zlata — 2021-03-29 19:24:43 UTC

We should think about using blended learning more often than before because of the situation all over the world with pandemic. Blended learning is modern approach to teaching and learning and teachers should be prepared for that option. I have some experience because I use eTwinning for 10 years now and I am used to online activites, projects and technology in every day life.

Maria, Kavala (Greece)

2021-03-29 19:27:02 UTC

The teaching landscape has been changing very quickly and the COVID 19 pandemic sped up things in my country in the specific area. It made quite clear that when the traditional brick-and-mortar approach is not possible or effective, we need to come up with a new plan. Obligatory online teaching and learning opened up a door to the blended learning approach which ensures that the learner is engaged and driving his/her individual learning experience. Since it can help our students cater to their individual needs, offer flexible time frames that can be personalized, giving kids the ability to learn at their own pace, enabling them to access materials from anywhere, at any time, while enjoying the benefits of face-to-face support and instruction, it can’t be all that bad, right?

Vasiliki, Athens

Maria, Greece

2021-03-29 19:29:19 UTC

A blended learning approach might seem more interesting for my teenage students. The pandemic also made it clear that we, as educators, need to adjust to new circumstances and provide our classes with new materials and teaching methods. I hope that this course will help me understand how blended learning works and how it could be implemented in a Greek classroom, especially when there are practical difficulties such as limited technological equipment.

Every school, has to prepare students to be flexible and able to communicate, learn and cooperate with other students and their teachers. Blended learning can help them gain this flexibility. I hope that during this course, i will be able to learn different tools and methods in order to understand blended learning better and make a better use of it as a teacher.

Blanca, Portugal

f1612 — 2021-03-29 19:39:11 UTC

I think a teacher should be someone capable of adapting to new realities. He/She shouldn´t stick to a method or tool. The pandemic situation made us realize that we need to adapt to the new world. Blended learning is one of the ways possible. We have to look at this as a challenge that we are ready to take.

Violeta, Athens

2021-03-29 19:41:12 UTC

Through blended learning I hope that my pupils will be more motivated to play a leading role in the building of their own knowledge at their own pace. I think that it offers the opportunity to pupils to get the most out of each and every learning experience, as it requires a more active engagement on their part. Especially in times of prolonged quarantine, blended learning is expected to compensate for many of the negative repercussions suffered due to the loss of live interracting in the real class environment.

Adopting a blended learning approach in my context would enrich the teaching and learning process because both my students and I would be able to get the most out of every single teaching unit. The content dealt with online teaching would complement the physical one; therefore, we would have an enriched process. Besides, we collaborate with eTwinning projects so blended learning would add even more value to those collaborations.

Because I would like to give my students many learning opportunities, to ensure that each of them finds their own way of learning and does nor feel excluded. Active methodologies place children in the centre of learning, who become the real protagonist of their school path. I would like to give them many opportunities for real learning experience : a reality task.In this particular school year , we virtually visited the exhibition of Ligabue with a very good guide, who at the end of the exhibition offered us a lab of images techniques...all in meet of course. Luckily we have a great LIM.My pupils use the computer/tablet to create, study and share their activities with each other, not only ,they are able to help each other in case of difficult.The DAD has implemented their ability and competence in the use of the device and web apps. Despite the difficult, the DAD has offered us the possibility of being able to continue to see each other and communicate even if in a different way. I alway try to achieve a blended approach. We partecipate in European project with eTwinning, our window on the world. In my school, every year on March, 21 we celebrate a Spring and we plant a tree in the school's garden: This activities is part of the environmental project that my school has been implementing for several years and which included the greenhouse for the small plants and the vegetable garden managed by children and teachers.

After a few months in a lockdown, we have discovered new tools and strategies in the learning process. We (teachers, pupils and parents) have developed new skills and have accomplished tasks in a small period of time. Blended learning is a way to fully explore our potential and make the classroom a pleasant enviroment to learn for eneryone. Noone left behind!!!

Even if the epidemic ends, I think blended learning will continue. The current and future student profile is not in a structure that will be squeezed between four walls. Blended learning seems to meet the learning needs and developmental characteristics of students. I hope to show my students that learning is a journey and that I will accompany them on this journey.

Life needs to change, but the Corona pandemic forced us to this change and it came its time because it does not start from the transition from superficial learning to deep learning using modern teaching methods that transfer the task from the teacher to the student in a way that makes the student think in a deep way towards knowledge. Blended learning was a wonderful method in employing technology. In education and distance learning

Teaching and learning process have to evolve. My personal expectation through this innovative course is to expand my knowledge, gain modern teaching tools that will inspire my students and help them learn in a different way. In my opinion, blended learing, means not only reading, listening and writing skills. Furhermore, it means that teachers are being facilitated to activate competences such as : interact, explore, build, construct and reconstruct everywhere: in a classroom, at home, on line, outdoors..The pandemic made more obvious this imperative need for change.

I want my students consider my classroom as a place where they can feel free to think differently and express those thoughts without hesitation, and won't be afraid of making mistakes and would take the responsibility of their own learning process. To provide this I have to improve myself, I should keep with the technology, new teaching and learning ways and strategies so I can guide them this learning road. We have to evolve with the scientific and technological developments.

Two reasons, from two different problems/courses:

(Didactics of Music, aaster level) When tutoring groups there is no need to be all together is the same room at the same time. Time is more useful online at a distance, than spent is the same physical space.

(Music and Technology, undergraduate) For students that work it is easier to manage slots of time to study when portions of the schedule is online at a distance.

Eva, México

miinnervargas — 2021-03-30 00:37:15 UTC

The concept of blended learning implies a challenge for teachers who must adapt (and adopt) new practices and materials to provide all students with printed and online materials, as well as face-to-face and online activities; and all of these should meet students needs and interests. In addition, teachers should seek to cover the program of the subject they teach. This leads to deep reflection on the part of the teacher, in addition to tutoring the students to adapt to the new scenario that will involve teaching and taking classes in a face-to-face, online and asynchronous settings.

Marijana, Croatia

2021-03-30 00:54:32 UTC

Croatia started educational reform just before pandemic situation. During the implementation of the reform we starded to know bunch of digital tools for in-class learning while distance learning due the pandemic situation gave it even more. Now I feel like I'm in the woods and I can't see no three - scratching on the surface of many tools and not to be aware of all the possibilities of the tool (for another goal, another tool even if the first one could do the same). I don't think that this is a course for getting a certificate for competention of using digital tools, but I do hope for hearing/reading/getting some ideas for efficient combining of the tools with overall purpose to make to the students learning easier and more everyday expirience-based - choosing digital tool that they can use in other school subjects and in everyday life according to their preferences. Blend of giving lots of opportunities.

BLA is good for students and teachers. Mario, México.

Blended learning is an approach to education that combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based classroom methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student, with some elements of student control over time, place, path, or pace. I think that it is a must nowadays for education.

Hi, my name is Jessica. I’m a French and German teacher in Bologna, in Northern Italy. My student’s age goes from 11 to 14. Blended learning offers the possibility to create student-centred classroom, that is really important nowadays in order to grow motivation. Education in Italy is becoming more digital due to the pandemic situation and teachers need to learn how to combine the content of their lessons with digital tools. Blended learning also gives students the possibility to collaborate with each other, teachers and classes from other schools and countries.

Blended learning is the process of incorporating various learning styles, which can be achieved through mixed physical and virtual resources. Learning styles refer to the many ways in which people learn. Through blended learning, this can be achieved by creating a variety of learning tasks and activities, using technology, the instructor and peer-to-peer interaction.

Györgyi Zombori, Hungary

2021-03-30 07:03:25 UTC

Blended learning is essential now in Hungary. We are teaching from home and students are doing something. I am not sure my students are doing their best. When I set up my English lesson plan I have to take into consideration that there are usually more than one children in a family learning online and students become really tired in front of the computers. I have to mix online lessons with some engaging tasks, they can do with or without computers.

Evangelos Gkinos, Greece

2021-03-30 07:15:36 UTC

Dealing with Covid-19 in Greece, schools were shut down for certain periods. The fact that schools had to switch (multiple times during the same year) from teaching in-class, to teaching online, made me realise that a new approach was needed since I was using traditional in-class teaching methods alongside with online teaching techniques. They say necessity is the mother of invention so that is how I became interested in blended learning. I believe it will help me combine learning styles in order to enrich the teaching process by providing students with new methods and tools for learning. Incorporating blended learning in my normal teaching routine will also help students adjust to new learning environments.

Myrto Nerantzi, Greece

2021-03-30 07:40:05 UTC

Meeting individual learner needs boosts their morale and encourages their active involvement in the learning process. I think that a blended learning approach caters more effectively to my students’ individual and varying needs, increases their engagement and helps them become better learners. Moreover, blended learning equips children with technological soft skills that are necessary nowadays. Last but not least, as an EFL teacher, I consider blended learning as a way to increase interaction and the use of English outside the classroom, thereby dealing with the very few teaching hours of EFL allocated per class per week in Greece.

Maria Nikolova, Bulgaria

maria_nikolova_ — 2021-03-30 07:42:44 UTC

Blended learning is useful not only in Kovid's time. There are small settlements that often remain isolated from the settlement where the school is located. There are chronically ill students who often have to be absent. There are students who travel with their parents for their work.
My students are roma children and their parents work seasonally abroad from spring to autumn. For these students blended learning is extremely useful.

Christina Efthymiou, Greece

In a blended learning environment a student learns: at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace. The modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience. This means that students use learning resources and tools to work through their learning paths, hitting the learning targets through different means. They also control the pace of learning
when they are ready, they show they have gained mastery through an assessment.

We believe we now live a major educational crisis imposed on us this junta, prompting us to search for alternatives to education and a remote learning came as an alternative solution to learning within the walls and may have been important to focus on this type of learning in advance of his importance in his home and answer to questions Which may not allow her school time and maybe is a wonderful way to teach students about searching, investigative, self-reliance and learning from their mistakes despite some difficulties such as the lack of internet and smart tools at some

Among my students there is one group that I always experiment on with something new: either with teaching methods or with new ideas. I love this group of students as they haven't lost motivation to study though they have been learning distantly for already 6 months. They are always open for everything new and support me in all my crazy ideas. Therefore, when I decided to take this course I was thinking of them :) Well, why should we focus on blended learning? Let's face the fact that this school year is not the last one interrupted by schools closure and schools have to be ready for the situation might repeat the following years too. If students are aware of blended learning, they get used to it, the next schools closure will not bring them so much stress. In addition, students are eager to use internet sources while studying, so blended learning might make the learning process both more useful and intertaining.

we should focus on and give attention on blended learning because it will be the sole way of learning nowadays, that the pandemic of Covid-19 has changed and made a revolution on all traditional ways of learning.

Cláudia Rodrigo, Portugal

Combined learning allows the distance learning process to continue. Students like this type of teaching because they master new technologies and are curious about the use of new applications.

I think blended learning is a great possibility to implement long life learning in people. Thanks to the use of new technologies, more people can access knowledge from their homes (as we do). In my experience, however, young teenagers (15-18) fail to grasp this wonderful possibility

SInce Blended learning can combine inclass, face-to-face with asynchronous learning/teaching environments, it is a way to increase productive time in class and at the same time allow learners spend time on their own pace at home, dealing with school activities

I think my students have benefited from online learning: they are less distracted in class, they like using digital resources, and some admitted they did more work because they had nothing better to do! Of course they still have to learn to manage all their emotions and behaviour around other people. This can only be learnt by being with other people. Blended learning can give every student the chance to work the way they feel most comfortable working. It also means that students who normally wouldn't use technological devices, for whatever reason, will now have to, and, thanks to the schools, they will now have the means to use them. No matter what we think, digital competency is a must nowadays alongside other more traditional ones.

Blended learning uses different apps, games, or programs to teach the subject that allows students to engage the material for themselves. It allows a balance
between students ( quick& fast learners.) Every student can arrange their time.It allows deeper learning, reduce stress, too.

Samuel Branco, Portugal

samuelbranco — 2021-03-30 11:01:08 UTC

I think that blended learning allows students to visualize and actually experience the concepts spoken at school. Often schools do not have the financial means or space to have everything that is said in class and that is of interest to students. Being able to teach a class outside of school can be very enriching for students. For example, my school has a professional Mechatronics course, which has a mechanics course. Once a week, students will collaborate in an existing car repair shop in the community, because, in general, many of the students like cars.

During the pandemic, teachers were faced with a new situation. We were called to teach the children outside the school environment. This initially raised concerns about how we would be able to respond to this situation. Teachers are creative personalities and after a year of experiencing the negative consequences of the pandemic I think we have now discovered new ways of teaching and new strategies and we have developed many digital and social skills.

Why blended learning? ElenaB,Italy

bulgarellielena — 2021-03-30 12:32:31 UTC

Learning occurs in different ways: some people learn by doing, others need to listen to stories, others need examples and visuals. A blended learning approach can provide different students the different tools they need to learn and improve in their school years.
Helping students cope with the challenges of life, from fulfilling basic need to dealing with global sustainable goals make their learning life relevant and important to their own eyes.
This is why we should be flexible in teaching them. If we accept the challenge of changing our methodologies and tools in order to meet our students' needs, they will probably be able to face the challenges of real life, including the "new online school".

Focus: Blended learning!

Blended learning is a basket full of interesting relevant educational life experiences.
For me, this is a true content that makes all the difference!
Combined ingredients to the preparation of a perfect learning recipe!
Pick up a school, many different homes, a good piece of creativity, a cup of innovation, a pinch of ICT tools and a lot of time. Blend all together and you'll have the perfect learning recipe!
Bearing in mind my students, I think that this learning approach will help me overcome some problems of lack of time to create and innovate....Sometimes... I feel I need more time, just to think creatively.

Blended learning allows more senses involved on educational process. Students do not just listen to the teacher narrating the new subject. They are able to be part of the process.
Especially, the last two years that we are experiencing sudden school closures, we need adopting and innovative techniques, to keep the process going smoothly.

Stroescu Raluca,România

We are all aware that there are differences between classroom teaching and distance learning - especially social interactions and mediation between educators and children.However, the current context brings new challenges for which we must find solutions and take advantage of the opportunities offered by digital learning media. Blended learning allows children to progress individually.At the same time, I believe that blended learning will diversify teaching activities nowadays, when we need distance education.

Alina, Poland

The pandemic has been a test of strenght for everybody, no matter what course you teach. Teachng online has become a need. At teh same time we have new platforms which can make us feel closer to students and this is what we get from blended learning. The only problem I face is the lack of training and the digital breach that it may bring if students are not familiar with it and/or have no access to online platforms.

Rupics Zsuzsanna

2021-03-30 14:21:18 UTC

Every student has unique needs. Schools quickly had to adapt to online classrooms to ensure there is no loss of learning for students. The blended learning approach ensures the use of technologies like personalised learning. Blended learning can provide a customized approach to teaching and learning, making the teaching and learning more effective. Blended learning using traditional classrooms mixed with technologies also ensure that students are learning new things, in an interesting and fun way. It replaces the chalk-and-talk method with more interactive ways of learning which keep students excited, engaged and interested in learning.

Rebecca, Germany

globalgoalsambassadorsproject — 2021-03-30 15:00:14 UTC

If planned thoroughly and done correctly, blended learning can motivate students as it's more versatile and enables autonomous learning. One the one hand you have more possibilities (use of digital tools) but on the other hand, at least it's the case at our school, some students struggle as they are not used to organizing themselves or lack support at home.

Esra Inan, Turkey

2021-03-30 15:12:31 UTC

Some of my students are struggling to find a motivation within themselves to engage with any learning activity. There are various reasons for that one being Covid19 and the aftermath, the unknown as some of my student put it. With this course I hope to discover ways to support their learning journey by making their experience more meaningful through methods, tools, approaches .

Mónica Cunha, Portugal

2021-03-30 15:19:49 UTC

Everyday, we, teachers and educators, have to deal with a multiplicity of students, either because of their economic background (usually poor, in my case, now even worse due to the pandemic situation) or their social background that tends to influence, a lot, the way they see school as a means to get a better life. In this daily struggle, I feel that we need to make the learning process much more attractive and that implies the use of technologies because it is their world. We have to keep up with new tools, incorporate them in our classrooms, either real or online. They must look at the place they learn at, as something that makes sense to them and not only the contents they find on books and copy to the notebook. Classrooms have to go beyond!

Jana Tichauer, Germany

2021-03-30 15:41:47 UTC

I have several reasons to focus on blended learning.

We are currently teaching in a situation in which one part of the class goes to school while the other part is supposed to learn at home. Designing these learning scenarios takes a lot of time and is not yet very effective. Second, as the numbers of infected people is again on the rise in Germany, I expect schools to close any time soon. However, I want to continue teaching my planned units.

I think that blended learning can help us to work on several students's skills as well, e.g. their media literacy, their ability to work independently and their organisational skill. I am convinced that it can increase motivation, too.

Last but not least, I am always eager to learn about new approaches and I think that it is one of my obligations as a teacher to stay up to date.

Anna Maria Nardo, Italy

2021-03-30 15:42:25 UTC

The pandemic was a very difficult experience for students and teachers. But in every situation we can find a positive aspect. I think that my students have learnt to express themselves and their knowledges in a different way, more creative and free. Each of them has created something special and different following his mood. Blended learning was a new possibility to show freely their abilities.

Jose Manuel Luna, Spain

luna_automocion — 2021-03-30 15:47:11 UTC

Blended learning is suitable for many aspects of education, but for professional training it is almost essential given the amount of information with which we work and the little time we have in the classroom since we also have to dedicate a lot of time to practicing. Good online activities that complement classes at school can meaning a lot for student learning.

We observe and live by observing that technology is advancing at a dizzying speed. In the 21st century, when the Internet started to be used in the field of education and especially in the field of education, it is necessary to use the Internet, portals that provide educational content and social media as a blend of learning models used instead of a single learning model. This requirement brings out Blended Learning. The blended learning environment enables learners to work from anywhere, at any time, and for instant feedback / correction / correction / correction via the web-based solution, while at the same time learning face-to-face learning, communication and communication with teachers and learners. as well as the strengths of the face-to-face learning environment. Learning flexibility and convenience, the retention of knowledge increases the interest in learning and the willingness to the lesson. It also offers learners their own learning and the ability to control this process, along with revising and correcting it. To learn the language you want to learn, you can learn the resources you want to learn to reach the resources you want. Students can also participate in the learning environment from their homes. Recorded information can be shared without time and space limitations. It appeals to blended learning learning styles. It controls learning with learning goal (attainment) evaluations and ensures complete learning. A model that supports 21st century skills and I think I can overcome difficulties in reaching problem gains and indicators.

claudiamssousa13 — 2021-03-30 16:03:00 UTC

The traditional teaching model in schools is very well-being years by various specialists in the field, either by applied methodologies, by encouraging students to decorate subjects instead of making them understand the whole context of the disciplines. Therefore, the new forms of work learning in the classroom were used. One of them is the hybrid. These methodologies can enhance students' learning, besides generating a competitive differential. Encouraging greater flexibility of environments and schedules to study, for example, enables the person to improve their discipline and increase their income and productivity. This methodology focuses on the development of skills.

Manuela Silva, Portugal

Blended learning should be the future of teaching. It involves all the features that are mentioned in one of our Ministry of Education pillars : Perfil do aluno (it describes what our children are expected to master at the end of compulsory education). In that document the emphasis is on some principles like: learning, inclusion, stability, adaptability, knowledge...all anchored in some very important values : liberty, responsibility, curiosity and innovation, just to mention a few ones.Blended learning cares for almost all theses aspects: discussion, collaboration, adapting and using feedback, sharing results and applying to new situations, being creative, investigating, being curious, articulating ideas...With Blended Learning we can use several strategies to attain these goals: both through face-to-face learning and online learning. It's a whole new world of pedagogical tools we can explore to make learning more efficient and memorable.It offers the possibility of re-designing teaching , using flexibility , a variety of learning paths and inclusive learning environments.

Helena Cardoso, Portugal

Helena_Carla — 2021-03-30 16:13:12 UTC

I’m interested in adopting a blended learning approach because it gives me the possibility to take the most of both approaches (in-class and online). In the classroom I have the opportunity to get all the benefits inherent in face-to-face teaching , such as: students can concentrate better; it allows to create more empathy and closer tights, etc. Distant learning has advantages too, such as the possibility to use many online tools, materials, platforms in a more effective way. Students have the possibility to see the lessons as many times as they need and at their own pace. Sometimes it's more comfortable to be at home, either learning or teaching.

Eleni Argyriou, Greece

2021-03-30 16:20:12 UTC

Though it seems that the pandemic has led to an entirely online teaching practice we could take this opportunity to use blended learning for more personalised learning, engagement of students with combination of online tools with face-to-face interaction and online communication to foster european projects like eTwinning.

Schools reflect changes in society, so it is important to reflect on how education will change in the years to come and how schools can keep up with this evolution.

2021-03-30 16:45:19 UTC

Blended learning is becoming something essential in teaching and the covid 19 pandemic has proved it. I think it is very important to combine both, in schools we can focus on our students and their strenghts and weaknesses more easily as well as work on a close relationship and empathy, through distant learning students can work at their own pace and track their own progress with as many tools as there are available nowadays.

Also, how will I use the specialized tools in specific school subjects such as mathematics, geography, etc?

Finally, how do I differentiate the mixed learning approach for children aged 6 to 8?

Nicoletta, Italy

nicolettagiardini — 2021-03-30 17:20:06 UTC

Before this pandemic situation, in Italy we haven't too much technology in class and teacher were not so motivate to improve their technology knowledge. I always liked BYOD projects or let student develop TIC competences because I think that in the future they will have to face with their digital skills.
The pandemic, as said, accelerate this process in teachers and students are happy to use devices, at home or at school in their learning process. There are so many useful apps to develop digital competences and, why not, try to engage them and let them express themselves.
So, I think that nothing is only black or only white, we have to take the good from this situation, as we should do in every other situation.

I´m interested in know more about blended learning because after this last year I felt that I need to know more about improve the students´s motivation to focus in the learning, specialy in the cases of we need to be at home. It was not easy be for several weeks teaching by the computer and the digital platforms, so I think is important to know and share different approaches and methods used by the teachers.
In the future I hope to get more motivated for the blended learning and to get more capacity to increase motivation and interest of the students by learning process.

While online learning in the flexible model sometimes leads students to office work, it is the backbone of a student's learning, and students can switch between different learning models in order to optimize their learning experience according to their specific needs. In fact, every student has a unique, fluent schedule among their learning patterns. The teacher is in the classroom, and the teacher or other adults provide flexible and adaptable face-to-face support, as needed, through small group teaching, group projects and individual tutoring. Some applications include significant face-to-face support, while others include minimal face-to-face support

Gina Mouselimi, Greece

t4edifferentyetconnected — 2021-03-30 17:57:25 UTC

As known blended learning relies partly on technology, and all the learning materials are accessible online. Due to that ease of access, learners can learn at their own pace and acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in the way that best fits their individual learning styles.

That kind of learning is much more efficient because learners can get more done in less time, so they can complete their education or training programs more quickly. More importantly, they can complete them more effectively because self-paced learning takes the stress out of the equation. Moreover with blended learning, you can easily update your students on new announcements, assignments, test results, and anything else regarding your course.
Blended learning also enables the course participants to work together, engage in discussions, and provide useful feedback to one another, which undoubtedly leads to improvement and higher engagement.

As the COVID-19 pandemic worsened in countries across the globe, most governments took the precaution of closing their schools in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus. In Greece, excluding the noncompulsory part of the curriculum, each week of school closures represents about 24 hours of face-to-face compulsory instruction time at school (lower secondary school – general orientation), that is to say 3% of annual compulsory instruction time. Schools were forced to replace this time in class with online learning and home schooling, in most cases facilitated by teachers and parents. After weeks of school closures, some countries are now starting the complicated process of gradually reopening their schools. To support these efforts, this COVID-19 country note aims to bring together evidence from various OECD school education surveys conducted prior to the crisis and use it to examine how prepared teachers, students and schools were in Greece to face the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a view to informing and guiding future policy responses to the crisis.

Some first thoughts that come to mind when asking my self "why blended learning" are
1. To learn new techniques and ideas to address my students' individual characteristics and needs. Not all students have the same educational needs and ways of learning.
2. To help students with learning difficulties and low achievers to perform better.
3. To enrich my teaching methods not only by using technologies but also by changing the classroom setting. Outdoors teaching for example, is very intriguing to me.
4. To enliven my class and engage them fully to the learning process.
5.To increase confidence and self-esteem by giving my students the chance to unfold skills and dexterities.

Blended learning is definitely here to stay for it caters for various needs and is amazingly flexible!Learner autonomy, differientiated learning are not utopian visions any more provided the teachers are adequately prepared to face the challenge...After all,"To improve is to change,so to be perfect is to change often"(Churchill).I feel this is precisely the case with blended learning as it is an ongoing dynamic process engaging both teachers and students!

Blended learning will offer the opportunity to adapt to our students' style of learning, slow vs fast learners. Thus, we are forced to use present-day technologies. Blended learning is here to stay.

mariaeugeniaaragao — 2021-03-30 19:55:24 UTC

Blended learning is a flexible model that can support a project or course of study to progress whilst
not requiring teachers and learners to be in the same physical space at all times. On a practical level,
this is useful for times when attending a school site is not possible, or when other sites are more
appropriate for the learning approach. It demands a careful consideration of pedagogical approach
by requiring decisions to be made about how and when to best use the different environments for
independent study, collaborative enquiry, social interaction, and practical application

O Ensino Combinado aumenta o interesse e a atenção dos alunos. E devido ao confinamento, provocado pelo COVID, os alunos habituaram-se ao meio digital. Ao regressar ao presencial, os alunos notam essa falta, falta-lhes o digital (computador/ tablet). E a mim também, para poder dar continuidade ao trabalho realizado, quando os alunos estão em confinamento e continuá-los a preparar para o mundo digital.

Due to the pandemic the ways of learning and teaching has changed quite a bit. The combination of learning in class and online seems to be more efficient for most students and the use of technology and adapted methodologies will benefit the kids more in school and life.

Helping our students to develop their digital competence is not an option but a duty for us as teachers in 2021. Of course they can be skilful with their smartphones for their own purposes (e.g. leisure time), but we have to help them understand that technology can also be the key to long-life learning. Blended learning is a good way to introduce them in the educational side of Internet at the same time we keep working on the basis of the incomparable face-to-face learning.

am ayat hindi( jordan) i like to know more about blended learning so that I can deal with students even if there is no school-front communication, because the capabilities and knowledge facilitate all difficulties.

The Reason to Focus on Blended Learning

2021-03-31 02:32:49 UTC

Although blended learning has existed since around the late twentieth century to the early twenty-first century, much of what we know about blended learning is not like how it is currently, where the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic limits the effectiveness of blended learning since in-person learning is utilized alongside online learning. For schools that have relied mainly on in-person learning, blended learning provides an opportunity to bring education out of the previous century and into the current century.
Adopting blended learning can facilitate the values of both in-person and online learning as students learn about the world, knowing technology can help enhance students' learning experiences without removing face-to-face experiences. By adopting blended learning, students will be able to experience how the world works online and offline while utilizing those experiences to tackle common issues in new ways, where traditional and modern methods of doing things can coincide in harmony while being mindful of the limitations an individual and groups of people might have.

Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to combine online and classroom teaching. It is a great challenge for all students, teachers and parents. I hope the course will help us find new ways to motivate and engage our students in this specific situation. Blended learning is a new possibility to show freely the abilities.

This pandemic period forced us to teach online for a long period. At the same time there are also periods when we teach face to face. It is important to know how to combine online and classroom teaching in order to actively involve our students in the process of learning.

Edit, Hungary

tothedit0610 — 2021-03-31 08:11:50 UTC

In the past few years I have been using blended learning approach more and more often in my teaching practice even if I was not fully aware of what this term meant. On one hand it was a requirement, on the other hand I found a lot of useful tools and websites for my lessons which I got to like using in my lessons. When the pandemic situation forced teachers into "home office", we did not have other choice but to adapt to digital teaching. This made a boom in shifting teaching and learning to a different dimension. Having digital teaching skills is a must now and teachers need constant professional development in order to do it well. After finishing this course, I hope I'll apply blended teaching more consciously and appropriately when going back to school.

Dimitra Hatzikeli, Greece

I'm sure blended learning is the best approach if we want to our students to develop cross curricular skills, such as autonomy, initiative, critical thinking, creativity... Digital tools and environments at the service of education are the key to a new era of teaching, not to replace the teacher nor the physical classroom, but to enhance the teachers' ability to reach every student and tackle their difficulties more effectively.

Blended learning can contribute to keep our students motivated and interested in learning.We need to use what we were forced to learn trough pandemic in a very short time, in the most effective way in order to help ourselves and our students adapt to the new conditions.

Dina Rodrigues, Portugal

2021-03-31 10:58:25 UTC

There are many challenges that await us now that vaccination has started and schools are reopening. From my experience in distant learning, students were not used to look at technology as a means to work, but rather has a means to play. Even after all these months learning at home, younger students still have a hard time when they use technology to learn. They prefer gamified tasks but unfortunately they do not pay attention to the contents of the game as they should. They are too "trigger happy", pressing keys at random. Older students have a different approach to technology and take it more seriously. I have tried to implement a blended learning environment for years, but obstacles arise especially when we do not have the best conditions at school, where the Internet is unreliable and where we don't have a computer for each student.
I truly hope that this pandemic has brought a new perspective to those who govern us so that there is more investment in schools and that we manage to turn things around and educate our students to truly become prepared for the changing job market.

Simoni, Cyprus

simonip20091 — 2021-03-31 11:09:01 UTC

As Elliot Masie stresses out we by nature “mixed learners”.We learn better using a combination of tools and methods instead of using just one. Mixed learning programmes use various learning tools and mix different forms of teaching such as traditional, face-to-face teaching, synchronous, asychronous, e-learning,self-regulating, cooperative learning in which the students work at his own pace. It is therefore apparent that mixed learning offers more teaching and learning options, which makes it more effective than conventional ways of teaching. It is not intended for COVID19 unprecedented times. I teach in an environmental center which delivers lessons in outdoor settings. The knowledge content is offered to the students before the actual visit. So during the visit time is not wasted.

Dana, Slovakia

danapalova — 2021-03-31 11:16:59 UTC

Blended learning for me is something, what we more or less implement in education process. As soon as we want to motivate students to work outside the school environment, we will reach, perhaps unknowingly, for the method that falls under blended learning. In fact, it is not even possible, without blended learning, today if we want to make the educational process interesting for all parties involved.

Fatma Koçdemir,Turkey

tatianadragan — 2021-03-31 12:25:00 UTC

I consider that blended learning is the best and the most effective approach of learning especially during the pandemic. It allows students to take responsability to engage into the topic by themselves and enhance their knowledge in class. I am very interested to gain experience how to adopt in a creative way the blended learning approach into my teaching process. From my own experience, I found out that eTwinning projects are a great source of implementing blended learning I was inspired by the idea to organize my classes outside the walls like parks or areas along the river. It sounds amazing!

Clara Vitorino, Portugal

etwinningsamiranda — 2021-03-31 12:27:19 UTC

In Portugal, students have been in a distance learning for some time, now we are slowly coming back to the school. Blended learning is very helpful in this very variable situation. On the other hand, we have more means to teach and learn: theater companies offer to present their plays online, museums offer online guided tours, we can invite more people to our class through video conference, all this is cheaper, quicker and efficient. I would like to think that when the pandemia is over, some of these resources wil continue to be used by teachers and students.

Susana, Portugal

2021-03-31 12:35:13 UTC

In adopting a blended learning approach, the biggest challenges will be to progressively develop autonomy in the smallest students in the use of equipment, to be able to provide the technical support that families often need, the greatest advantage being to focus learning and student processes whether in person or not.

Paola, Italia

parduletta2 — 2021-03-31 12:57:25 UTC

I hope that blended learning will help me with what I need to support my class and manage to divide students more easily into groups. For rotation in the classroom to work with differentiated learning. If students know about blended learning, they get used to it, the next school closure will not be so stressful for them. In addition, students are keen to use Internet resources, so blended learning can make the learning process more useful and interactive.

Marlene from Portugal

2021-03-31 13:41:56 UTC

"Blended" can also mean "diversity" and that´s an important ingredient for learning. Diverse spaces, diverse approaches, diverse tools, diverse teachers, students, mates, points of view, diverse matters... Diversity enriches us and gives us the change to fit in, to find our right place and/or move to another more challenging...
Only blended learning/teaching can be an answer to diversity. So many students!... Do our lessons fit them all at the same time?
Moreover, diversity brings motivation, that's why blended learning makes so much sense. Now, even more!
The more diverse a learning ecosystem is the better we learn.

“True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own.” wrote Nikos Kazantzakis . I believe that blended learning approach can help us create all kind of "bridges" for our students. In virtual or physical environment blended learning can open new possibilities, new paths to reach each other, to find ways to learn, enjoy and use Knowledge, to explore competences and attitudes.

Blended learning enables us to work with our students collaboratively using technologies even during school closure. Additionaly, blended learning can give teachers time to assess the immediate feedbacks and outcomes.Using traditional classroom mixed with technologies give students to learn things more effectively and in interesting way. On the one hand ,schools should not be seen as a place where only the lessons are taught . Let's apply blended learning with our students who miss being in our schools after the pandemic.

One of the things that Covid 19 has taught us is the necessity of a change and adaptation of the education systems in the world to the new conditions. I think neither online teaching nor face to face education is adaquate for effective teaching separately. There should be a blended teaching method to meet the deficit of the one another. Therefore, we (as teachers) should handle the problem directly and adapt ourselves to the new conditions as quickly as possible. I hope this MOOC is going to meet my expectation in this aspect.

Last year's pandemic has brought us in front of a new educational reality, that is, distance learning combined with lessons in the physical classroom.

David Costa, Faro - Portugal

davcosta — 2021-03-31 14:56:24 UTC

Access to information and knowledge has moved from books to the digital world - accessible anytime and anywhere, within a few clicks. The classroom (physical space) has limits that do not exist in other areas of society. Why do we persist in models of school and education that do not fit in with the evolution of society? We can learn anywhere and at any time, hence the importance of hybrid education - keeping up with evolution.

Tânia, Azores

2021-03-31 16:02:57 UTC

In my school, we were confined for two months in 2020, and that time was truly eye opening. I found that, despite having a group of students that, in the classroom, were able to easily follow instructions and clarifying their doubts, when we went to an online environment, had difficulties in interpreting the written instructions to do the tasks. They, also, had trouble using digital tools to communicate with the teachers and their pears. This school year, we are having all our classes in the school. I have been trying to combine digital tools with the classroom work, but in a very limited way.

I hope to develop a model of blended learning that will help me empower my students, to improve their autonomy and construct their knowledge without relying exclusively in the teacher.

Elsa Lopes, Portugal

CNSA_elsalopes — 2021-03-31 16:15:01 UTC

In my understanding, blended learning is the way to diversify learning, virtualy and phisically. Nowadays, this is a very important strategy to have stundents motivated. Teachers need do rebuild themselves, to explore new ways to get to their students, to make them enjoy learning and to explore competences, skills, attitudes and knowledge. Maybe we can get this by using blended learning.

Blended Learning is important!

Blended learning is important because it breaks down the traditional walls of teaching, ones that don’t work for all students and now with access to present-day technologies and resources we can tailor the learning experience for each student. Blended learning also offers flexible time frames that can be personalized to each person, offering them the ability to learn at their own pace.

JENNY, GREECE The pandemic has made us realize that we can't just keep teaching in the same way as before. Blended learning is actually a way of engaging students and teaching them special skills such as soft skills. We have to move on with the times and improve ourselves by gaining more knowledge and experience on blended learning which will certainly help us achieve personalized adaptive learning. Finally, we should be able to support our learners in the new technological era.

In between both confinements we had here in Portugal, I have been trying to implement some form of blended learning. Because a new confinement was expectable after the first, I thought it would be good for the students to continue some form of online work, so that they would continue to acquire key competences to work online. Changing to online teaching was not so bad for them , since they actually never stopped using the resources they used on online teaching.

Blended learning is a good way to enrich and diversify education at this time in the distance learning period, and it is an important way to encourage and motivate students, and at this stage the teacher needs to develop himself, acquire new skills, acquire new skills, strategies and ways to reach students in an attractive way to explore new ways to reach Their students, and to make them enjoy learning and exploring competencies, skills, attitudes and knowledge. Perhaps we can get this by using built-in learning.
Because I will be back to school in two weeks.

Roberto Agostini (Italy)

agostini2 — 2021-03-31 17:21:10 UTC

The simplest answer would be that the pandemic has made blended learning necessary. But in fact my teaching has always been based on a blended approach. I think this approach is interesting because it breaks the rigid spatial-temporal dimension of traditional school organisation. In practice, blended learning makes it possible to create fluid and flexible learning environments that reflect the way contemporary society is organised. This course will certainly be an opportunity to reflect on my own blended learning practices, which are often conducted in an intuitive way.

Laura, Portugal

poetaspeninsulares — 2021-03-31 17:26:03 UTC

Blended learning opens teachers' and Ss' minds to explore the great world of knowledge.

A world to discover!

Blended learning will be the “new normal” after the pandemic. It can give us the chance to create the best possible learning environments for all students, in order to prepare them for the future. Learner autonomy, more engaging lessons and differentiated instruction are only some of its benefits. Hopefully, it will make the teaching process more meaningful and effective.

Since March 2020, in Portugal we have been twice in distance learning. In between we have lessons in the classroom (school).

This is our reality and we don´t know when it will stop. So, blended learning is mandatory. Not only because it contributes to keep our students interested and motivated, but also because it will be easier to alternate between distance learning and classroom lessons.

To face this reality the better prepared we are, the better we will prepare our students.

Because we are in the XXI century

But not everyone can have the technology at home to have a blended learning

Blended learning opens new opportunities for teachers and their students, as the world is changing rapidly, and we, teachers from all over the world, should be ready to accept that online learning is a vital part of modern education. That is why we should be knowledgeable enough to meet our students needs, help them achieve their goals, support them and make the process of learning interesting, up-to-date and successful.

I f a child can not learn the way we teach, we should change the way we teach. Children learn in different ways. Teachers have to search and try different ways of learning. Students have to be in the centre of learning proccesing. Be the main part, the subject, the researcher, the artist, the mechanic! Learning methods have to be close to students' interests and life. Students must explore and come to conclusions their selves. students must live the learning experience!

Mehmet E., Adıyaman, Turkey

2021-03-31 19:46:31 UTC

Learning opportunities can be created according to the individual differences of the students with blended learning. In this way, it is possible for students to go further. For example, one student may want to learn German at A1 level, while another may want to learn at A2 level. With a lesson plan prepared with blended learning in this way, we can make students reach their goals more easily. (Flipped classroom) If we blend it with other methods, for example, if we blend project-based learning and demonstration, we can make the student's learning more permanent and they can learn more easily..

Today's world has become a technological world. Now, the tools are left to be predominantly analog to be digital.

Everything takes place at a distance from a click. For example, we manage the bank account remotely, we make a remote medical consultation.

Knowing how to work with digital tools is a necessary competence for the work of the future. For new skills, new methodologies.
Blended teaching also allows for more effective formative assessment with more individualized feedback.

It is important, for teachers and students, and for education, of course, to adapt it to new learning that adapts to the time we are living. The emergence of technology offered new possibilities for learning and we need to explore it and approach it as a good opportunity to teach and learn. Blended learning is a new opportunity for everyone, I think.

This way of learning is very useful for the further learning process. Students acquire and develop digital competencies, as do teachers. They have the opportunity to learn from obvious sources, but also to use digital learning tools. Cooperation and project learning are being developed. This is my opinion.

Sanja, Croatia

sanjapesic53 — 2021-04-01 06:56:26 UTC

Bleanded learning will help students prepare them for the "new normal" and develop skills such as innovation, critical thinking, ICT, self-directed learning and research with the support and guidance of teachers. It will help teachers to develop new education strategies and develop their own competencies. I think that bleanded learning is preparation for the future.

Bojan, Croatia

lazicbojan — 2021-04-01 07:48:24 UTC

It is mandatory to learn during all our teaching career. The way we teach might be a good one, but also subjective. If we notice that the way of our practise isn't working good anymore, we should make a change. This change might exactly be found in blended learning because that is a good way to introduce different kinds of learning methods, materials, professional skills and students' individuality.

Heidi, Denmark

2021-04-01 07:57:03 UTC

I have for a long time looked into making my own materials - and to me blended learning (different learning environments) are essential to keeping my students motivated and keeping them interacting with me and each other.

Marta Costa, Portugal

2021-04-01 08:49:56 UTC

The world is changing, and teaching is becoming more demanding, so blended learning is very important. It’s the future of teaching. In the last year I was forced to learn and explore different tools to teach, and this made me to reflect that I need to explore and learn more that's why I enrolled this course.

CrisM, Spain

2021-04-01 09:03:00 UTC

In VET some kinds of blended should be compulsory. They are very useful for students before starting their guided work as well as for teachers. In other educational levels as well. After COVID and the development of new digital skills, we can add more options for blended work. Very useful!

Daniela Vaduva, Romania

dvaduva2610 — 2021-04-01 09:32:58 UTC

Blended learning causes my students to be involved in their own learning, to be creative, responsible in different environments and different contexts. Thus together we will have the satisfaction of a job well done.

Lisanne, the Netherlands

LVERWER — 2021-04-01 09:41:25 UTC

Blended learning can improve engagement and cooperation. By using blended learning, we can offer more ways of learning to our students!

A good blend of learning formats and methods goes a long way in offering efficient learning and creates a whole new work and learning environment for students and teachers.

Sónia Barbosa, Portugal

sonia_barbosa — 2021-04-01 09:58:39 UTC

The evolution of technology in societies must be linked to the possibilities that teaching / learning can implement in education. Blended learning is undoubtedly an escape from traditional teaching to teaching where experience makes learning meaningful.

Daniele, Italy

danvir — 2021-04-01 10:12:19 UTC

I'm quite interested in this MOOC, because I'd like to know how to better integrate online and onsite learning. I think it could be help me in organizing a learning more suited and personalized for each pupil. But it is important to build something that can be united and not divided in many activities with no bonds.

Elena Vragiorgou, Greece

stef_elen — 2021-04-01 10:24:50 UTC

Blending learning is definitely a combination of face-to-face tuition and online teaching methods. It offers flexibility, a vast variety of contemporary recources in real time, it promotes multi-modality , a fundamental 21st-century skill. But it is not panacea because the pandemic is here. Nothing should replace the classroom and the teacher's voice when working on collaborative tasks. if web tools are to be implemented in the teaching process, it is essential to be done with sensitivity and human support. The digital button is nowhere like the encouraging nodding of the teacher especially when working in a YL context. Emotionality is important along with digital literacy.

Maria P, Greece

mpapant41 — 2021-04-01 10:25:34 UTC

That is why I am interested in learning more about it.

Blended learning combines online education material and oppurtunities as well as tradiotional classroom techniques. So we can see the importance of it and the key role it has, especially during pandemic, period that requires learning to be even more flexible and open to new methods.

Katarina, Croatia

Blended learning is a necessity nowadays. During a pandemic, we combine teaching online and live, in school. We have to learn to keep up with the times because that is the future. Today’s world is digital and blended learning will become the new normal.

Francisco Assis, Portugal

2021-04-01 12:54:40 UTC

Blended learning is almost an imposition of modern times. The pandemic forced the school, the educational community, teachers and students to change the entire educational process. Teachers had to reinvent teaching and learning.
Blended learning offers new opportunities to add meaning and substance to the curriculum.

Burçin Öztürk, TURKEY

bozturkelt — 2021-04-01 13:11:58 UTC

I believe that we all are already implementing some kind of blended learning in our classes. We only need to become aware of what we are doing. I think that this is necessary because we will never get back to the old normal. Technology will always be a part of education, learning, teaching... I believe we should focus on blended learning because blended learning bears the potential to address various learning styles and strategies. Addressing as many styles and strategies as possible is important because with the development of technology society develops, everything happens faster, learning needs to accelerate as well.

During the pandemic, blended learning is absolutely necessary. Even though I have been teaching online, I would like to know more about this and enrich my online teaching style.

Shereen Ibrahim/Jordan Blended learning has many advantages, which can be summarized as follows : * Real - employment applications technology information in teaching positions in terms of surfing the Web and handle e - mail, chat and use various computer software . * Reducing learning expenses compared to e- learning , and saving effort and time for the learner and teacher compared to traditional learning alone . * Enabling learners to have the pleasure of interacting with teachers and their fellow students face to face, which enhances social relations and the human aspects between them

I think that this pandemic contributed to open our eyes in what concerns the education system. Most schools were not prepared for the extensive use of technologies and its systematic integration in the teaching and learning community: teachers, students, staff, parents, etc. It’s imperative that we adopt a global/blended vision of education and make use of all the resources we have at our disposal to reach the concept of whole school, where all stakeholders are present and important.

I have always thought that blended learning is much more effective because it allows greater flexibility and helps to create your own learning path at your own pace. I also think that a lot of training is needed and I am convinced that the most experienced eTwinners could become the best trainers for all other teachers.

A. Nikas Crete.

2021-04-01 17:04:12 UTC

Because blended learning is learner centric, let alone offers better control to the learners, themselves. My students will render capable of working with tutors when they are at school premises, whereas, use additional online resources at home, at their own pace.

Ioanna , Greece

paramy8enia — 2021-04-01 17:04:26 UTC

Blended learning will make teaching more effective. Mixing the best qualities (or the ones that are allowed at the time anyway) of both distance and classroom learning and/or the different methods followed is sth that will motivate every learner.

Lia, Italy

2021-04-01 17:13:01 UTC

We should focus on blended learning because teaching has deeply changed in these two last years and we as teachers cannot go back. The best way is to know more about it and develop skills and competences to improve our teaching practice in a such school context.

Natasa, Croatia

2021-04-01 17:33:48 UTC

Blended learning can certainly improve student collaboration and engagement. Teachers develop new skills and are provided with numerous opportunities to make the content interesting.

Blended learning can offer huge benefits to students and teachers as well. It can extend the margins of the classroom and can make the learning activity travel all around the world.

Today, beside pandemic situation we are living, teaching and learning have changed. While I am writing they are changing, evolving, improving. It is impossible and unusful to teach as 20-30 years ago. Students can find on the Net all the information they need about a topic. What a teacher must do in our days is to develop new skills and competences in pupils. Blended learning gives us the opportunity to do that.

Ditza, Portugal

f461 — 2021-04-01 19:12:06 UTC

In my opinion, blended learning will gradually become a reality in many schools in the years to come. If I am allowed to (the management always has a word on the matter), I would like to adopt this approach because I believe it's more student-centered, it allows the students to control their learning pace and it's easier for them (and the teachers) to track their progress. On the other hand, teachers can benefit from the many diverse apps and tools available to create digital content which should be, at the same time, relevant and motivating to their students. We can't forget that this generation lives in the digital world, meaning that learning experiences supported by technology are more likely to reach students better.
Nevertheless, I believe that this approach is a bit difficult to manage with younger learners; at +15 I believe it could work.

Arwa Abuasad, Jordan

learning.

Nicolas Elsäßer

nicolaselsaesser — 2021-04-01 19:27:57 UTC

Blended learning enables links to be made between the children's learning experiences and everyday life / the environment (as in the example of the Waldkindergarten). This not only promotes the children's interest in learning, but also enables them to bring their own biography (e.g. migration to another country) - i.e. their perception of the environment - into the classroom.
Not using blended learning would mean disregarding a large number of opportunities for the children's learning success.

Luísa Nogueira:

luisanogueira1 — 2021-04-01 19:42:23 UTC

Abandon, forget the masterful teaching, the teacher speaks the student listens.
Learning is interaction ... with the teacher, with the book, with parents, with grandparents, with colleagues in the classroom in the construction of shared knowledge.

Ioannis Isaias, Greece As circumstances have proven, clinching in only one type of teaching like face to face can be fruitless. Furthermore young stundents undoubtedly are more than ever familiar with new technologies, plus they don't turn their learning mode off after school. So it's necessary to include factors such as mixed learning evnironments, different instructional methods, pedagogical approaches and technology tools.

As a special education teacher I have found that using blended learning within my classroom has made an immense difference in what my students get out of my classroom and the true vast differentiation that can be explored and that is very much needed within my classroom. One of the biggest challenges that I have faced (and still at times face) to date is the transition from using a technology tool to access class material to an activity that does not require technology. Kids love technology, haha!

Gonca ALTAN/TURKEY I think blended learning will help pupils learn to learn. It will help us,teachers to be more beneficial to our students as the methods vary while teaching.

The educational process, as a whole, must be adapted to the living conditions. And this inevitability we discovered during the quarantine period imposed by the covid pandemic. Therefore, the professor had to overcome these difficulties to continue teaching and to alleviate the damage caused by this pandemic so far. It was important to communicate with students during the closing period, so that education could be transferred to homes. Live must go on ,so education must to.

Even before the pandemic, I used digital technology to improve the skills of my students, but this was occasional and most students liked it. Now, when it happens every day for a long period of time, now it is not interesting to them, but hard. I’m looking for a way to help them overcome the feelings of discouragement, depression, and all the bad emotions they’re currently living with and because of which they can’t progress.

In a "simple" way, blended learning can create bridges between trainers and trainees.
It also allows a regular communication among intervenients in teaching/learning process.

Blended learning is something that increases motivation with my students. This generation is seeking new methods of teaching, new technologies and constant interraction with the teachers and other students through technology.

Before the pandemic situation, I used flipped classroom and digital technology with my students. Through these learnings, my students, who are member of a generation of digital natives, learned tu use technology beyond games and leisure and could to get the necessary skills to be a committed digital citizens. B-learning offers us a new opportunity to teach in a practice, current and versatile context. It helps us to strengthen our adaptation skills and our resilience. In addition, it allows us to introduce more motivating strategies for our students.

Blended learning is the way forward as there are no boundaries of time and space, learning occurs continually . Since our days presently are part at school and part online teaching, this is the way forward. Blended learning offers opportunities to allow students with all types of needs and individual preferences for learning to actually enjoy learning. A barrier may be too much screentime. So we need to maximise the opportunities that technology offers with careful planning of activities that encourage collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity.

2021-04-02 06:58:42 UTC

Blended learning can broaden the opportunity for students to learn beyond the classroom and within their own pace. What I can reflect from my previous experience, the school where I work has applied the blended learning approach even far before the pandemic. We often collaborate with other parties to support our students' learning. However, when the pandemic strike everything we had done were changed to online mode. The most challenging part in online blended learning is when students are not able to directly visit museum or doing fieldwork. Even though it is possible to do it virtually, the experiences it offers can be very different.

Blended learning, I think, will be in our lives in the future. In our days and due to the pandemic blended learning is a reality in schools. So it's necessary to include factors such as mixed learning evnironments, different instructional methods, pedagogical approaches and technology tools.

Snezhana, Bulgaria

s_tzonkova — 2021-04-02 07:33:38 UTC

Blended learning will answer a lot of challenges: bridging the gap between different learning environments - online and traditional classroom, but most important , it bridges the larger gap - between theoretical or academic learning and real life knowledge implementation.

Blend learning it is useful to avoid the gaps that can appear between the teachers and students due to lack of time, for example. It allows teacher to reach all the students despite their work pace in the classroom

Blended learning helps student to learn in their own pace and different methods.

It is a more flexible model and helps the teacher adjustthe material to the learners' needs. It my also lead to learner autonomy as learners can follow the material at their own pace of learning.

I think that blended learning will be a quintessential part of our teaching tools in the future. It is a method that is more engaging for both teachers and learners and it can be more stimulating than traditional teaching methos which are no longer fit for our times.

Veli, Turkey

I can say that Blended learning has lots of things in it like having different types of education, and letting us to combine different methods with some instructional and methodological tools.

Blended learning is a reality today. It puts both students and teachers in a new position. It enables them different teaching strategies, strengthens digital competencies. It is desirable to allow the interaction of all participants so as not to lose the social aspect.

Dragana, Serbia

In these strange times, when we combine lessons in person with those online, or completely online, this kind of event can be very useful for everyone. Thanks to this MOOC, I hope to learn more about blended learning, use the methods, tools and tips that the experts and other participants share, and to enrich my lessons. I also hope that blended learning will help my students become more engaged and responsible in learning, and that, thanks to this MOOC, I will find out more about how to keep track of my students' progress with this kind of approach.

Vasia, Athens, Greece

basiabareli — 2021-04-02 11:18:20 UTC

When it comes to Greece, our perception of education and teaching methods need to change. It is important to provide students a type of teaching that agrees with the way their brains are wired and focusing on those 21century skills that our students will need and our educational system lacks. Most of all we need to promote a more active learning mentality and inspire our students rather than provide them information.

I'm interested in the phenomenon of blended learning because it's clearly our future. For now, blended learning itself seems to be quite a challenge, however, in the future once it's fully adopted it may help deal with issues such as home schooling, etc.

Maria, Spain

2021-04-02 11:40:05 UTC

Blended learning is a current trend in both business and education. I think it is a good option since students can consult their doubts as they arise, through the consultation forums proposed in the virtual classrooms. I think that participation increases because the student is not obliged to participate in a single time and space, which may not coincide with their moment of interest. Consequently, the student has a higher performance and content fixation.

Dora, Portugal

doraneiva — 2021-04-02 11:46:02 UTC

I teach English in a vocational school and most of my students not only lack language skills, but also motivation to learn the language. My previous experience of distance-teaching, facilitated by technology, taught me that the methodologies and the plataforms I have used contributed to a boost on students' motivation to learn and use the language. Furthermore, I strongly believe that blended learning is also the key to create personalised, student-centered teaching, making education a more individual and inclusive process.

Sarra, Tunisia

2021-04-02 11:51:19 UTC

If I talk about the conditions in my country, it is not always possible to achieve blended learning because there is a lack of means, the lack of the will to change because of the difficult working conditions in the majority of establishments. school .... I am very interested in adopting a blended learning approach because I think that despite everything we must try to change the education system, change mentalities, encourage teachers and students to try new methods, change slowly is better than staying in the same place. It's a challenge, I know, but we have no choice; we have to move forward with this world for the sake of the new generation.

I think blended learning is a fantastic way of improving our way of teaching, not just using ITC but also different approaches. I'd like all my students be motivated by their learning experience and help them overcome their difficulties in learning. What's more, I'd like blended learning would also be a part of blended exchanges of students so different countries students could share and learn together with different countries teachers.

Blended learning may enrich the variety of experiences our pupils have within our school, classroom or even their limited lives in a local environment. Blended learning can take you anywhere or meet anybody. It is also a really good way of involving families in school education without the need of their presence at school, they can follow up school activities through an online platform and combine homeschooling with regular school, always guided by a professional of education.

Blended learning can offer opportunities to experience new approachers and different teaching methods, but most of all it gives the chance to addapt teaching to students' individual learning styles and preferences. Although it was ment to keep pace with development of modern technology, it proved extremely useful recently when schools turned to teaching online all over Europe.

I really think that we needn't have waited for such a situation as the current one to start thinking of a blended approach to teaching as we prepare our students for life and the world (lives and worlds as we can think of all the multitude facettes they take- artistic, technological, in one country or another, inner and outer, etc) The more varied the learning environments for a student, the better their understanding and the greater their motivation. It's necessary blending a lot factors though to make it work and I hope this course is going to facilitate it.

Blended learning is here to stay. The pandemic just showed in a more direct way that the teacher- centered and lecture-centered approach that still goes strong between some educators has to be replaced really quickly. The era of soft skills, student-centered approaches, technology and AI in education is here and we need to adjust for our students’ benefit as tomorrow’ s citizens.

SNJEŽANA MARIĆ, CROATIA

smaric — 2021-04-02 17:48:13 UTC

in blended learning traditional face-to-face learning is combined with methods of eLearning so that learners can reach their full potential. Every learner has different needs and learning styles so, with this education program, they have greater flexibility of learning at their own pace. The benefits of blended learning:
1.Boosts learner’s efficiency
2.Builds engagement
3. Improves collaboration
Bearing in mind that every learner’s needs are different and every learner follows a unique learning style, it is important to try to meet everyone’s needs so your course to be effective, which means that teachers' wfforts are enhanced. Being a curious person and definitelly not a fan of sticking to textbooks and/or copy-pasting of lessonplans (usually offered by publishers with their couse-books), I enjoy creating learning materials for my students especially games. The challenge I have met in the last two years is gettting to know my students individual needs in classes who started their 1st year at our school online. Talking about the situation in my country , I can only say that not many teachers are eager to learn and adapt.

For me, blended learning has started long ago. Occasionally, I take my students out in the school's garden and we talk/debate while sitting on the grass, for example. Or ask them to create a reading diary using different digital tools (canvas, bookcreator, prezi, slideshare, etc.)
Once a year I ask students to create a book trailer and present it to their peers using a movie maker application (Windows Movie Maker, YouTube Studio, Animoto, Filmora, etc.)

Leyla Ceylan, Turkey

lylcyln20 — 2021-04-02 18:07:02 UTC

Blended learning which uses apps, games to teach concepts allows students to engage the material at their own pace. Blended learning allows the students to set appropriate learning goals. It is also helps them to be responsible for their own learning.

skararfiyakali — 2021-04-02 18:44:36 UTC

We as teachers are using different methods, different techniques and trying to do our best for ur students to explore themselves. But pandemic times have changed lots of things in our lives. We started using technology or started to search for new things in order to take the attentions of our sts. Blended learning may not be a new concept but the way of education is being changed day by day. It is a combination of lots of skills for teachers to educate the sts. But the question is about how to make it real in today's world. With this course I believe we will be more motivated and informative about what to do next. Thank you.

Maria Luisa, Italy
If we think of the new situation we are facing, distance learning, it's more and more necessary to use this form of learning so as not to leave our students alone in their learning process and in their way of acquiring knowledge and competence. They need to be protagonist of their way of learning and they have to exploit new paths not only guided by teachers but also trying and exploring new lands making attempts and comparing their discoveries with the others

Matina , Greece

mativergi — 2021-04-02 20:09:34 UTC

The traditional way of teaching, which is still so much the case in Greece, needs to change or else we'll lose our students' interest. We must involve them more and let them search, question, create rather than just give them information

Paula Martins, Portugal

paulamartinserasmus — 2021-04-02 20:25:33 UTC

Promoting learner´s autonomy is one of the benefits Blended Leaning can offer. This way, students will be able to face more difficult learning paths and not give up easily as they will have tools to keep on learning.

stillerovaadela — 2021-04-02 20:36:24 UTC

I believe blended learning can support greater students' engagement since it offers diverse range of methods and teaching techniques. If the students are more engaged, they often get more motivated to learn which leads to better performance.

Leonor, Portugal

leonor_marques — 2021-04-02 23:07:48 UTC

A blended learning methodology provides essential flexibility in displaying content therefore it improves students' motivation, it can enhance students' learning outcomes, and it is an effective way for accomplishing learning.
As Dora (my Portuguese colleague) said "It is also the key to create personalised, student-centered teaching, making education a more individual and inclusive process".

It is an enjoyable way of learning.

Daniela Guimarães, Portugal

DanielaIdaes — 2021-04-03 10:34:08 UTC

I think blended learning is challenging, since it needs a different school organization. Due to COVID-19 that effort needed to be done, and it was. But what about the post-COVID times? I think we will return to the school as it was, before the pandemic situation. However couldn't we adopt some hours of blended learning, for some subjects/activities? Students could plan their work, learn at their own time. I also think they would become more autonomous and responsible.

Afroditi, Greece

Sofia Nikolarea, Greece

2021-04-03 12:21:16 UTC

Blended learning establishes a new model of interaction between students and teachers. Learning is taken out of the four walls of a classroom and becomes a much
more exciting and integrated experience. The practices implemented are appropriate not only for emergency situations such as the one we currenlty find ourselves in, but also for grading up the educational process, in general, to meet the demands of a technologically advanced world in which, however, the individual still holds the primary role and must be enabled to develop all aspects of his/her personality. It also promotes student engagement, responsibility and autonomy in learning, which is vital as each student learns at their own pace and is able to discover new talents along the way as well as have a sense of accomplishment.

George, Greece

akougiou — 2021-04-03 15:46:31 UTC

Martina, Croatia We should focus on blended learning because it increases student effectiveness, provides better communication, improved collaboration, makes it easier to track student progress, and students can adapt to customized learning styles that best suit them. Blended learning allows teachers to design the content and structure of their lectures. Teachers can select appropriate subject tools to make lessons effective and meet learning objectives.

Dina , Portugal

2021-04-03 15:58:06 UTC

We were living a "calm quiet life" and then there was a pandemics that, like a big frightening shadow, changed everything. Suddenly, we had to teach our students but they were no longer in our classrooms...they were home. We had to recreate ourselves and to re-evaluate our teaching strategies and approaches. We searched for new tools and developed new skills. We learnt and now we don't want to let go. We want to incorporate this new approaches in our classrooms. Blended leaning helps us increase the motivation of our students and empowers them as the main actors in the process. By creating a greater diversity of learning environments we give students the opportunity and the responsibility of adopting the ones they feel suit their needs better.

Dora, Athens, Greece

kalliora — 2021-04-03 16:00:42 UTC

Education serves to prepare students, people for the next stage in their lives. Starting from school and contributing onto their future, the purpose is the same, to be enlightened and prepared.

For our students, when it comes to the question of "how" we respond through blended learning. Not only the current condition, due to Corona virus, but also our belief that every learner has different needs and learning styles lead us to use this method.

I am sure that it is no "news" to everyone that this kind of learning builds engagement as our students are fond of technology and media. It boosts their efficiency as it creates new paths of education more appealing to young learners. Communication and collaboration are important too. They not only support this method but also contribute to the making of better human beings, our world citizens.

All in all the aim of this learning approach (and our own ambition and hope) is to make our students work above their grade level. My biggest concern is to help them progress at their own pace. Independent learning and practice is our goal. And this approach, I firmly believe, helps us address the needs of our students and create a learning environment that suits them.

Magda. Greece

Teachers can design their programs in more effective way.

Evangelia, Volos=Greece

lilia_kalogirou — 2021-04-03 16:56:41 UTC

It offers our students self control over learning. They can arrange time and learning technics according to their own personal needs. Plus we can address more effectiveley their needs.

Blended learniing is useful for teachers, too! It helps us focus con the process on learning and teaching, and plan every step, so not to improvise

Involve me and I'll learn" Benjamin Franklin. I wholeheartedely agree with this idea and this has always been my teaching motto. I believe blended learning involves students in the learning process thus facilitating learning. It favors different learning styles and abilities and is more suitable for this generation of learners as it makes use of new technologies.

I enjoyed when I applied the blended learning, while obtaining my master's degree because it is an educational model aimed at using modern technologies and the Internet. I have prepared the lessons through video clips and audio files, for students to see in their homes or anywhere else using their computers or smartphones. Or their tablets before attending the class. While I devoted class time to discussions, projects and trainings.

We need to improve children activities during the on-line lesson mostly in this CoVid time. So I think blended learning should be a good way to do it, integrating lessons in classroom and on-line, individual and group working at home.

B.L. can provide motivation to students and hopefully help them grow into independent learners who seek discovering and building on what they learn instead of just preparing for school exams.

Hara, Athens South Should we all then be for the distance learning????? Blended Learning has been proved nowadays as a necessity because of the pandemic.Since a lot of time has passed in locked down situation it also has proved as a challenge in learning domain which can stregthen the in-school learning.I strongly believe that in-school learning is the number one education's priority and can't easily be sustituted by any further processes. But it can be further supported and improved by distance learning.Let's then wonder about if we had the chance of choosing what should we do?Me I should choose live teaching in classroom and then I should include distance learning as feedback to my schedule. This could be a vlog, a quizz, a survey, a questionnaire, a digital narration, an onine walk around places, EU cities, EU museums, etc....

Blended learning may be a challenge now but could be an opportunity for tomorrow. Despite the ones who hate distance learning, there are those who love it! Moreover, technology brings forth potentials and opportunities for learning that can be used for a modern, updated learning environment everywhere in the world. Distance seems to be no problem. It is definitely a path woth exploring.

2021-04-04 10:50:23 UTC

Blended learning came up naturally for me before the pandemic when I encouraged students to send their assignments online. So I also sent feedback online. Then having shared methods of online communication (viber, messenger, email etc) they felt free to communicate with me when they encountered problems with their studying. So, yes, despite the pandemic, blended learning frees communication with students and gives them motivation to do things.

Despoina, Greece

I believe that with a blended learning approach teachers will have the opportunity to use different teaching methods and therefore improve their teaching skills. Blended learning can also help students to learn how to learn on their own and keep them stimulated.

Mirjana, North Macedonia

Reading and watching the videos about blended learning I realize that our education (I'm talking about my country) needs big changes. Teachers also need to change their way of thinking about education and adapt their learning methods to the future that is already here. Times change, and so do children. We are the ones as adults who have to adapt to those times.

Dr.Rabaa Okour

rokour1 — 2021-04-04 11:55:59 UTC

Blended learning was the better solution to compensate the student for the absence of the teacher in the classroom, also improve the collaboration between the students and their motivation to the learning . In addition, it help the adult learners to lead their own learning.

caterina_scrimali1 — 2021-04-04 13:05:20 UTC

Here, this is the school of the 21st century, all over the world. The school of blended learning. And it is certainly the only type of school that will remain in Italy at the end of the present epidemic crisis (which in the meantime could last even a couple of years if not longer). It goes without saying that these additions are never a substitute for the traditional live model, unless a catastrophe intervenes. Like an epidemic, or a war, or an earthquake that destroys the school building. So yes, distance learning, or virtual, for a period hopefully as short as possible, becomes the only way to do school.

Blended learning can lead to a better education. First of all , different methods of teaching can help children in learning. Every child has his own way to unterstand . Additionallay blended learning is important since it breaks the tradiotional walls of teaching. E-learning allows more effective interactions between the learners and their instructors through the use of emails, discussion boards and chat room. Lastly students have the ability to track their progress.

In order to practice students in the 21st centrury skills it is a
bsolutely essential to follow a blended teaching practice. As teachers we also want to use materials and tools provided by the internet, in our classes or being able to externd our teaching beyond the class itself. It has already become indespensable to focus on blended learning and thus teaching practice.

Emma, Primary school, Italy

rucolaemma — 2021-04-04 15:53:09 UTC

I am interested in understanding blending learning better because I think that an integrated approach can better respond to the needs of children with different tools from workshops, to group work, to inclusion. In addition, last year I felt the leap between face-to-face and online teaching very strongly and I thought, in my small way, to integrate various tools, including digital ones, to try to give continuity to the activities, getting used to always using these tools. . We are all at the beginning and we need to get literate together. When using digital tools it is important that families feel the tools are accessible and safe. There are needs related to age and experiences and it is not easy to create different habits but one step at a time we are learning.

José Carvalho | Guarda | Portugal

joseantoniocarvalho2 — 2021-04-04 16:19:34 UTC

I think about implementing a blended approach because I think it can meet the individuality of the students and their learning pace. Not always, in the face-to-face context students get their focus of concentration and productivity. Each student has his or her optimal moment of concentration and learning.
On the other hand, I think that the combination of learning environments can reinforce peer learning and experiential teaching. These are two methods that enhance students' learning. Finally, I think "teaching should be for each and every one... where no student is left behind".

Esther Rodríguez, Spain

erodr9 — 2021-04-04 16:22:32 UTC

My first reason (but not the only one) to focus in blended learning is to respond the immediate needs of students and teachers, arising from the pandemic situation. In Spain, to guarantee a safe return to school, students are in "group bubbles" (a whole year group with only one teacher and stricted rules to keep social distance with other groups ), and every positive coronavirus case detected , the whole "bubble group" starts a ten- day quaranteen at home.
We need to learn about this approach to help our primary students to be ready to learn at home autonomously.
I totally agree with other MOOC participants about other benefits of blended learning, to use digital and online tools and resources, to achieve a better understanding and meaningful learning, to guarantee inclusion and learning personalization, to increase motivation in our students ...

Gabrijela, Croatia

2021-04-04 16:49:22 UTC

It is true that the pandemic has forced us to accelerate the introduction of technology into the teaching process, but I believe we are all aware that 21st century type of teaching will not be possible without blended learning. I believe that teachers, as a person, will not be able to be completely replaced by technology. Personal approach to the student is one of the most important components of teaching. However, neither teacher himself, without technology, will be able to hold classes in which they will hold students' attention for one lesson, on the content being processed. Not because teachers are not capable, but the attention of today's children is very short and they constantly need to change their activities, so that this attention can be focused on content for as long as possible.

In addition, technology allows us to offer children some more sources of information, if they are particularly interested in a topic and with the help of technology, we can encourage students on research learning. Then, if we are limited in school by time, with the help of technology we can "extend" the lesson by sending them additional materials to their virtual classrooms, etc.

And blended learning is redisign of traditional learning, it helps to put students in the center, to become more active. I want to learn how.

The students will encouraged to explore, experience and learn with own style so I want to learn how I can help them.

As the pandemic has intruded our lives, teachers have to find or invent new methods and strategies in order to make their students learn more effectively and achieve their goals. Blended learning combines both in-school and distance learning with the useful tool of technology. It is a learning process that integrates a variety of pedagogical approaches and tools and engages and activates students, while the teacher is the co-ordinator.

Tzouma Aikaterini, Greece

katzouma — 2021-04-04 20:29:24 UTC

Blended Learning is an invaluable necessity since pandemic struck and we were forced to implement distant learning in our teaching methods. However, it’s not only the pandemic but the benefits that will arise as well.

On the one hand, students will be able to improve their learning styles and progress at their own pace, develop their responsibility and be engaged in the learning process themselves towards their autonomy. Lastly, they are to equipped with real-world skills.

On the other hand, teachers will be facilitated with their work by integrating present-day technologies and resources to tailor the learning experience for each student.

Adopting Blended Learning involves all students with equal opportunities. Of course, students with connection problems and without the appropriate technological means have difficulty.

It proves to be even more effective than traditional or online methods used separately.

Blended learning can provide us with the flexibility to cater for each student's individual needs. It's also a structure that could save a great deal of time in class, where every students needs a different amount of time to achieve each goal. Being able to combine different tecniques simultaneοusly could help us distribute this time for each student in a way that would be the most helpful for them.
What is more, given our experience of the last year, educators are now more ready than ever to implement technology and distant learning tools to their usual in-school practice.

Blended Learning and Adult Education

paulalanca — 2021-04-05 15:17:02 UTC

Blended learning is an unavoidable path in Education. If we acknowledge the advantages of technology and its impact in managing time and effort in our daily lives, we cannot leave Education out. Not possible.

Besides, more and more Education and technology are linked, and a lot has been done in this area.

Digital Education is more effective, creative, fun and broadens opportunities and possibilities. The pros and cons of systems solely In-school or Distance LE are well-known and already explored. So blended learning enhances the qualities on both systems and lessens its disadvantages.

However, there is still much to do to guarantee equal access and opportunities in Digital Educational to all groups of learners. Particularly, I am more focused on Adult Education and, within this, Education in Prisons. Here, due to its own context free access to Internet and digital tools is very limited and Blended Education is very difficult to implement. So, this particularly group of learners has few opportunities to fully develop its skills and knowledges, namely digital competences.

Among adult learners in general, Blended Learning would provide more effective and creative opportunities and knowledge to help them become more autonomous in training, and, eventually, in life. The constraints have to do with lack of connectivity and access to digital devices that can help them fully explore all the resources available. On the teacher part, the load of work and commitment is necessarily increased in order to succeed.

Adriana, Italia

adriana_top — 2021-04-06 04:26:54 UTC

I have been adopting a blended learning approach for many years already, initially through the mail or the creation of private class groups on Facebook. Social Learning like Edmodo or google classroom didn't exist yet (but google groups, does anyone remember?). Since 2015 I have been trying to use Edmodo in the classroom and Padlet. The latter has worked a lot for the sharing of materials and activities by students also because it does not require their registration, but only ours.
Challenges: I have not yet focused on the challenge. Perhaps by blended learning we can mean having the opportunity to have different learning experiences in the classroom, at a distance, in places of culture around a shared project.
Perhaps the challenge is precisely this: to design mixed and interdependent learning experiences. For example, the shared and collaborative writing of a text can be done remotely, the audiovisual recordings need a set and be made in presence.

Vlatka, Croatia

2021-04-06 08:31:56 UTC

I think there is a lot of reasons for blended learning. Some of them are:
1. Different types of students. We all learn on different ways, so various ways of presentation and learning must be present in a class.
2. Present situation whit pandemic
3. New possibilities - technology give us possibilities to teach and learn on other different ways.
And so on…

I'm interested in adopting a blended learning approach since it will facilitate working with our students in different enviroments. I hope that I will learn differente strategies and resources which help me and my students to follow our teaching and learning process if we can't do it in class. It will be also useful for these students whose learning process is slower.

Blended learning is a teaching and learning process. It depends on the place we are teaching, online or in our school environment, it depends on the people we are teaching as well.

In my school ( highschool of languages), students usually spend a week abroad , this stage allows them to learn something every moment...when they are in class, when they visit the city and when they stay home with the hosting family. Maybe it could be considerated a kind of blended learning.

Blended learning is useful through a variety of teaching methods. It is also a challenge for teachers. ICT is evolving on a daily basis, so we need to make good choices and use the best tools from deep ocean platforms and applications. Sometimes less means more. I am a math teacher in high school. Over the last two years, I have become much more aware of the need to combine classroom teaching with online teaching, and the challenges that each of these forms of teaching brings. I think that we have a great challenge and responsibility before us to transfer knowledge to students, and to use each of the forms of teaching to the appropriate extent. The students are at a great turning point in the circumstances we are witnessing. Good luck to us all.

My idea of Blended Learning was that of an unavoidable necessity ubruptly imposed by the pandemic. Now it is that of a whole new perspective in education. I think Blended Learning (in a variety of its forms) constitutes the future of education in my country, so we have to take it into serious consideration.

Francisca Soares, Portugal

soaresfrancisca — 2021-04-06 21:37:53 UTC

I think blended learning is a good approach which reflects our own lives at the present and what our students will find in their future. We live in a world which is a mixture of different environments, different procedures, where we use different tools, where we learn in formal as well as non-formal contexts,. For these reasons, I consider adopting blended learning a good strategy.

Helder Santos, Portugual

helderroda — 2021-04-06 22:18:32 UTC

think Blended learning is a great way to motivate students to learn by integrating the new technologies they love so much. It is a good way to diversify teaching tools in order to make our classes more dynamic and attractive and thus contribute to the success of students. Blended leaning enhances interactivity and collaborative work, increasing interpersonal relationships. By using different strategies we can reach all students and contribute to greater equity in education. With Blending Learning it is possible to reach out to all students and support those who have the most difficulties.

Maria Dimitriadou, Greece

2021-04-06 23:05:51 UTC

I want to adopt a Blended Learning Approach in my teaching for many reasons. I find it really interesting, challenging and mind-stimulating. But the main reason has to do with my students. The BLA :

is learner-centric and offers better control to the students. If applied, students have the chance to get the best of both teaching “worlds”: the “face-to-face” and the “online”.
can offer my students more flexibility in the way they want to learn a through a combination of facilitated sessions and self-paced online training.
will give them access to online resources that they can access at their own pace and according to their needs
features online resources that are accessible to learners 24/7. They can self-regulate their learning and decide when, what, how they will make use of the offered material, thus increasing their learning autonomy & motivation
will enable me to monitor the kids’ progress through an effective LMS and plan timely interventions, modifications, adjustments to their benefit (find out, in time, which material is more student-friendly and which makes them struggle)

Blended learning gives us the ability to function more effectively in situations where in-school and distance learning alternate continuously. Moreover, we are able to extend our lesson beyond the physical classroom, using attractive digital tools.

George,Athens GR

The teacher plays a critical role in encouraging deeper learning. Teachers using mixed learning should include practices such as research and development, integration and guidance. The teacher can integrate a blended learning model into his teaching such as the flipped classroom model, to make the content of his class more attractive and interactive. These factors are actively contributing  to cognition and lifelong learning.

Emel Şahin, İstanbul-Turkey

emelsahin80 — 2021-04-07 08:36:39 UTC

Why blended learning?
Because distance education will remain a part of our lives even if the pandemic is over. My students will also know how to learn on their own with blended learning. I think the most effective way to integrate students and teachers is blended learning.

David Rua, Portugal

davidrua77 — 2021-04-07 08:45:44 UTC

Combined learning is, without a doubt, the future of the school. The possible combinations between the various areas / factors in the teaching and learning process allow reaching a level of inclusion that in traditional education is not possible. In this mixed model, students are at the center of their learning, their learning pace is respected and, above all, their own way of learning.
Moving towards hybrid teaching requires a clear understanding of the concept on the part of the teacher, the students and even society, a change in the paradigm of the school, the classroom.
It is necessary that all actors in this process are endowed with digital literacy and that schools have innovative educational environments that allow the development of hybrid methodologies and activities.

2021-04-07 10:09:05 UTC

I have been applying some elements of blended learning in my lessons for almost 10 years. For children growing up in the digital century, it helps to better understand certain topics, tasks. Students are taught time acting because the task can only be completed within a certain time. However, the quarantine of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to many challenges in organizing distance education.

Schools are currently working on a blended learning model. Therefore, we do work that requires contact (such as a primary school writing) at school. Skills building activities are being moved online.

Blended learning is a great opportunity for students to socialize in physical and digital space.
I think blended learning is the best way to adapt to the learning challenges of this century.

David, Portugal

2021-04-07 11:16:56 UTC

We need to make sure students develop skills for a lifelong acquisition of knowledge, and that can only be achieved if school builds bridges with the “outside” world and uses tools that students use in their day to day lives. It seems to me that most of the students don’t feel a connection between school and the “outside” world, their world.

Vassiliki (Ioannina, Greece)

vrabaou — 2021-04-07 11:38:52 UTC

2021-04-07 13:44:56 UTC

My children benefited during this period from classroom and meet classes. Thus, we collaborated both face to face and through various topics and distributed work tasks. A great advantage of the classromm was the use of open educational resources that we were able to experience and share together as collaborators not as teachers and students. These resources help learning and turn it into an attractive and interactive tool. Students like it!

Anabela Mendes_Portugal

In my classroom I implement some forms of blended learning always, although I was not even aware of it. By combining different methods, learning in different environments we touch on blended learning. In this situation with a covid pandemic this is certainly more pronounced. I hope to become aware of all the ways of blended learning to implement them in the future. We need to be ready for anything…

In-school learning that sounded so sufficient in the past , looks so short nowadays under the light of the pandemic. It became clear that we should have found new methods to utilize the resources now so easily available through the internet . Time in class is never enough; but what if we could use this extra help given if we decide to use blended learning?

Isabel Pereira (Portugal)

mcpisabel — 2021-04-07 17:11:07 UTC

Why should we focus on blended learning?
The pandemic crisis has been showing that now, more than ever, is the time to blend teaching and learning environments. Because of this forced distance learning, educators are learning new electronic tools to meet their educational purposes and though it has been really tough on most people to convert an in classroom kind of process to a distance learning one, the lessons taken during the first, and now the second closing out of schools, will reap their benefits and both educators and learners will feel more at ease with some distance learning tools, not just zoom or google meet, but also how to sparkle the learning dynamics with the help of other tools that just weren’t needed in the physical classroom. On the hand, I feel the physical space of a school is and will be of utmost importance, both for children/teens and for their families, and students should access school from Monday to Friday on a ‘normal’ schedule. Now the thing here is that diversity is key to success in any area, Education included, and we don’t need to close down in one room again for learning a subject and be back to the 19^th and 20^th century school. Lessons and learning can – and I honestly think they should – be blended into a diversified group of styles, for instance, some in a room with one or more teachers while others along the week in an asynchronous format, where students can develop a project (better if we’re including multi- and transdisciplinary projects). School should be there not just to get students seated in a classroom, but it should provide the support and facilities for real learning to take place.

Angy, Greece

2021-04-07 18:22:29 UTC

I believe that learners need to link their knowledge to their own lives and experiences. It is not enough for them to look and listen. They also need to do in order to learn, to be independent/autonomous in their learning. Blended learning is a way to fulfill this need.
Moreover, due to Covid19 situation and to the lockdowns, the blend of different types of teaching and learning (in school and distance) is a new challenging situation for both learners and teachers. If we focus on blended learning approach, I suppose we can
gain insight into new teaching practices and tools and can create up-to-date lessons.

Conina, Greece

Saleh barahmeh /JORDAN

2021-04-08 08:48:56 UTC

The topic of making the best use of time is not only won by the students, but also by the teachers!

For a professor who gives a lot of lessons daily, he may not have more time to prepare as he should and in the best possible way, and he may even be unable to give lessons to a very large number of students, given the limited location in which the lessons take place.

When the teacher prepares online lessons, he can use these lessons more than once, and thus he will have more time for the teacher to devote to other work or even to prepare other supplementary materials or any tests for the student on what he studied!

Georgia, Greece

2021-04-08 10:05:03 UTC

Blended learning is a method that enhances teaching , because different activities can be combined and thus the interest of students can be aroused. The most important thing though, in my opinion, is that learning can be personalized and students can follow their own path to Knowledge

Aránzazu García, Spain

agarciab1 — 2021-04-08 10:06:12 UTC

Taking into consideration the context we are living right now, I think this type of learning and teaching is essential for us, as it let's us reach to our student's houses even being afar.
It would be very much helpful to overcome distance problems ni isolation periods, and also in "normal" schoolarship.

Flexibility and closeness

2021-04-09 13:25:39 UTC

Hi, this is Ana from Slovenia. I think that blended learning is the best thing this days... Firstly, there is plenty of flexibility like in online training, while face2face lessons gives you closeness, contact, touch, experience. So I am thinking- online for theoretical topics, face2face for practice. In theory, learner can expend or adjust their studies (apart from the basics and fundamentals) in the direction, that is most interesting to them.. In the live sessions, besides practical work, one can deepen the knowledge, ask for further explanaitons... so this way , classes are more student oriented. These are my thoughts why I think, blended learning is great!

Albina, Lithuania

Our students are the individuals having different aims, learning in different environments, surrounded by different triggers.

Itappeals to multiple intelligences and preferences of learning. It offers some independence time-wise, as activities can be completed in each student's own pace. It also offers the opportunity to create the end product of a project that fits their own aesthetic criteria as ict offers more modes of expression.

How to choose the right tool to encourage students to actively participate, and at the same time enable us teachers to achieve the planned outcomes.

celiaverissimo — 2021-04-09 19:10:03 UTC

Technology has changed society, the way people live and communicate with each other and school must evolve because children/ teenagers / young learners and even adults are different: learning environments must naturally envolve and school must be able to prepare citizens for the 21st century skills and motivate young learners and even adults for an autonomous lifelong learning process.

To integrate different motivations, to approach different skills and learning paces and with this pandemic situation to adjust to diffrent learning environments, new tools, new languages, new ways of working must be developed.

It's not just a matter of mastering tools but to integrate old and new ways of working in a whole new process from planning to evaluating otherwise it will be the same way of teaching with some new tools.

Blended learning is first, today, a necessity. Furthermore, I find such learning motivating for students and requires their greater engagement (given the environment in which learning takes place).

In my opinion, blended learning is a great option in nowadays teaching, as it allows to displace the traditional place of learning -schools-, and open our students minds to the idea thar learning can -and has to- occur anywhere. Moreover, technology nowadays allows us to transform any situation in a chance to learn, as our phones, tablets, or even mini computers, can be taken everywhere.

Classical learning, which includes only classroom learning, has become boring and less activating. Interactive methods, changing the learning environment stimulate students' curiosity and interest in learning.

Blended learning, which mixes traditional face-to-face education with technology, has become increasingly popular in educational institutions over the years. This style of learning provides a way for faculty to engage students through visuals and online interaction.

Engin, Turkey

We live in a technology era and when we think of today's kids/students, they really good at using technology and technological devices. As teachers, if we want to teach them anything, we have to find the best possible way to reach them and we have to show them that we also know how to use technology, and we can also teach them with technology. For today's students, it's like "speaking the same language" or "sharing similar interests" with them which is really important and it has a huge impact on their learning process because they only learn when they really want to. When they see that you can teach them new things with technology, or when they see that how capable you are about using devices, apps, platforms or programs, it will make them more curious and more enthusiastic about your subject.

I am especially interested in blended learning as I have tried to use this approach in my classes since the beginning of the pandemic. I see great potential in this type of combination in teaching and a very different stimulus for my students. On the other hand, I had to train my schoolmates when it was necessary to switch abruptly to online teaching and I realized the great difficulties that most had. I have since sought to learn more about what is blended learning and would like to explore the various ways of implementing it. I hope that this course will allow me to put into practice several blended learning models, adapting them to my students and valuing the whole teaching-learning process. One of the biggest challenges will be to work on the skills that a teacher must mobilize in the implementation of blended learning.

A blended-learning approach is more adequate to develop a personal and professioanal profile that is required more and more by the labour market. Teachers and scholls must adapt their strategies to the demands of our society and labour markets and we also must see ourselves as global citizens, so adopting a blended learning approaach is an opportunity for both teachers and students reflect and discuss why the classroom is not the only place where we can learn and develop our knowledge and competences; this idea is not groundbreaking, but the use of technology to enhance this possibility, is.

Cristina, Spain

2021-04-12 09:23:16 UTC

As I have pointed it out before in another padlet, blended learning using technology has come to stay.
For me , we should take advantage that our students have learnt how to use different platforms to keep going one step forward. We need to make sure our students are digitally literate.

blended learning
- offers benefits to the student: stimulates their curiosity, it needs a good motivation to take it into action in a positive way, it develops problem solving because it gives the possibility to choose which tools to use
- supports the teacher in the construction of the lesson as a path and process in progress, develops the mind of the teacher whose lesson is not standardized a priori
- enhances the quality of flexible teaching because it adapts to the student but at the same time also to the class

José Lobo - Portugal

josemlobo — 2021-04-12 10:19:36 UTC

In my opinion, blended learning is a great option in nowadays teaching, as it allows to displace the traditional place of learning – schools K12. I am especially interested in blended learning as I have tried to use this approach in my classes. This type of learning allows you to develop and combine various skills, coordinating different learning environments and leading to the integral development of the students.

Blended learning has some challenges like challenges like the dificulty on to know enough about technology and isn´t easy to plan lessons or a good acess to computers, smartphones or even WI-Fi. But blended learning can be very usefull for personalized learning, peer collaboration, for having a more flexible schedule and helps self-regulation.

Many reasons can be given as to why we should focus on blended learning. I would like to start with my favourite quote about education, once stated by Nelson Mandela: "Education is the most powerful weapon which we can use to change the world." In order to give our students the power to overcome all sorts of problems in this world, first of all, they need to adapt to new circumstances and be able to keep learning, keep improving themselves in all types of situations. In the past year, "thanks to" the pandemic, blended learning approach has shown itself to be very useful. However, many teachers were not ready for this type of education. They were not prepared to switch to creating an online teaching environment. So the focus on blended learning/teaching is of great essence when considered from both teacher's as well as student's perspective. We need to focus on this because it is flexible (place, pace, time), it reduces costs in education (less books, less travelling), and it is also environment friendly (less travelling means less traffic, less cars). It looks like a win-win situation for all, so let's go for it!

Sunčica, Croatia

suncicaremenar — 2021-04-12 13:06:13 UTC

The idea of teaching biology and chemistry has always been kind of a blend of different approaches, like lab work and teaching theory,

independent student research and visiting gardens, zoos, botanical gardens or forests. But now we have more restrictions and sometimes we have to abandon these practices because of epidemiological measures. But now we focus more on how to make digital tools more useful, and how to implement them in teaching. Hopefully, when this ends we'll go back to field learning but will also have knowledge on how to implement digital tools in it.

Wanda, Italy

2021-04-12 16:00:09 UTC

Blended learning usually help me to motivate my students and at the same time allows them to learn following their own rhythms.

Covid 19 has forced us to rethink and change the way we are teaching, not merely because of the current circumstances but because some of my students unexpectedly benefitted from the distance learning set-up. I would like to try and see if reorganising lessons with blended learning can optimize more learners' outcome.

I think that one of the main reasons we should focus our attention on blended learning is definitely the high probability of having it more present in our teaching activities from now on. Personally, I'm interested in adopting a blended learning approach in my classes, since I regard it as an increased opportunity for students to connect with their teachers, especially during these harsh times we are experiencing worldwide. Nonetheless, it promotes several effective means for both, the teachers and the students, to become more engaged with one another.

The blended learning approach is an important resource to face critical conditions of teaching and learning as we are living nowadays because of the COVID 19 pandemic. But in fact, blended learning is much more than that since it means a vision and a challenge of contemporary society opportunities to promote teaching and learning environments directed to improve results in personal competencies. It is also interesting since those environments are wide and include regular education and lifelong learning. It challenges teachers because it usually requires getting new competencies for teaching, as technological competencies that otherwise would be not so valued. And is also an opportunity to enhance some skills on students as it demands more than ever to interact with peers and teachers, and those skills are most valued in professional environments.

Blended learning can help us make our lessons more interesting, engage our students, promote learning in an effective way. It is vital during the pandemic but it can also be a great tool when we are back to the physical classroom since most students are so easily put off by traditional teaching methods.

Abel Cruz - Portugal

conteudos2004 — 2021-04-13 10:39:30 UTC

In the current educational scenario, adopting a blended learning approach is a challenge that cannot be ignored, if we want to win the future.
The school and the teaching/learning system have changed raqdically, so it is essential the seeds that persist in germinating.
I remember Sir Ken Robinson lecture

"How to escape education's death valley" (min. 16:38) and the example of The Death Valley in USA: nothing grows there; neither seems to be life, until the day when small droplets of water fell and the valley germinated like a garden!

Blended learning is a teaching method that includes a combination of traditional face-to-face learning, learning with the help of ICT tools as well as many other styles of teaching and learning. Blended learning is important because in this way we develop various skills in students and encourage them to work on thinking and learning. Blended learning during the COVID-19 pandemic provides a greater opportunity to function more effectively in situations where school learning and online distance learning are constantly alternating.

Teresa, Portugal

2021-04-13 11:16:30 UTC

The world have change a lot on the last years and school can't ignore it. Our students use the new tecnologies but don't get from it all the benefits. So Blended learning allows us to explore new metodologies and resurses that make our classes more closer to the enviroment of digital society. This also creates an opportunity to develop on our students autonomous and meaningful learning.

Lassalete Silva

lassaletesilva — 2021-04-13 12:29:54 UTC

Because it is a more interactive form of teaching and learning that combines analogue and digital resources, making the teaching-learning-assessment process more motivating for teachers and students. Blended-learning is the school of the present and the future as it allows the development of individual, collaborative and digital skills and competences in a more autonomous and personalised way preparing students for an unknown future. The regularisation of learning is also more efficient, as the digital tools allow it to be done more frequently and on an individual basis.

Rob Moyer, Sweden

2021-04-13 15:19:19 UTC

As a Canadian teacher teaching in Sweden I can say that blended learning is where students learn the most, they are able to make more connections with the materials and understand the practical usage. Students are bombarded with a wave of information from the internet and the world around them, so for their education to combat that we need to take the learning outside the classroom and apply what they learn to the world around them. One of the biggest things that I do in every lesson is to have a section of "why should I learn this." There should be a practical aspect to everything that you teach, and blended learning is a way to show student where you can use this knowledge.

A good way to leverage distance learning is to establish blended learning in our teaching method. Blended learning is an innovative teaching method which introduces new technologies and new teaching methods in the education system

Blended learning allows students to go on with their studies while working or parenting at their own pace. It has been very useful for our teaching with children and teenagers during the lockdown and it could be used as extension and reinforcement activities and projects with motivational resources.

Blended learning is very interesting for students who cannot go to the classroom for some justified reason

fatmacaylak — 2021-04-15 07:24:43 UTC

Blended learning takes every type of learner into account, whether they prefer the familiar traditional classroom, would rather learn online, or try a mixture of both, I think. Without the limitations of a classroom or all-online course, blended learning utilizes a variety of methodologies so the content can be customized to the learner and optimized for the subject matter. While not all face-to-face training is easily translated to digital content, it’s possible to re-engineer existing content for online delivery in a way that complements the existing training. BL also offers the unique opportunity to discuss, model, and practice their new skills in a safe space, so they’re not just watching or hearing—they’re doing.That is an interactive experience in every sense of the word, keeps learners engaged and informs teachers about their progress and areas needing more attention.It allows learners that diverse reach means diverse individual. So we, teachers find the ways of using Blended Learning Type of Teaching and putting into practice, not for only ourselves but also for our students who are our future. So, then let's collaborate!!!!

Also, to be able to provide different learning tasks, creative tasks and skill acquisition such as learning to learning, cooperation and active participation. I find this course very interesting and I hope I will find out more about the ways how to improve flexibility and inclusiveness of learning for all.

Clara, Portugal

claraabegao — 2021-04-15 10:14:32 UTC

These pandemic times brought us terrible things but also, made us teachers reflect on our jobs. In the traditional teaching model the focus and protagonism are centered on the teacher. In turn, hybrid teaching (blended) places the student as the protagonist of the learning process itself.
In distance learning, students can perform tasks at their own pace, with more time and in the way they believe to be most efficient. That's where technology is the great ally, after all, the student can use computers, smartphones or tablets for research, to attend classes and even for educational games. Student autonomy is highly valued and encouraged. This is one of the big goals.

I am interested in becoming highly efficient using this method, I want to improve student's attitude, motivation and ensure progress while using this method. I would like to be able to use it effectively after the pandemic as well.

Ioana, Romania

Blended learning can be the ideal choice, due to the many advantages it has. On the one hand, students can benefit from the guidance of a teacher or an instructor, this being used by those who cannot organize themselves effectively and in need of assistance in completing the course. Thus, they will know which aspects of the whole set of information are the most important, they will be able to request additional explanations formulated on their understanding if necessary and can interact with other colleagues on the topic given face to face. On the other hand, some materials are difficult to comprehend entirely through oral presentation, and visual stimuli are needed, which help learners to assimilate information more easily. A picture is worth a thousand words, but the effects of an animation on the receivers of information is much stronger than that of a still image. From this point of view, one of the great advantages of using eLearning solutions is that dynamic visual elements can be included, unlike traditional textbooks, in which only photos are present.

Cristina, Peru

2021-04-16 10:12:13 UTC

For me blended learning is important because I would like to provide to my participants not only information but I would like to practice and apply the information that I provide them.

My goal is that after a training session with me, they feel like they really learn something that is worth in their day by day.

Of course, it is important to generate and keep the motivation in my students thus I think that blended learning is the best way to do it!

Blended learning is a way to redesign our courses by combining physical and virtual instruction, synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities. This approach aims at uniting the best features of in-class teaching with the best features of online learning. This will in turn increase students’ active participation and self-directed learning opportunities. Blended courses will help us improve students’ social interaction, reflection, higher order thinking and problem solving. Using collaborative learning applications such as social networking sites, blogs, and wikis can favour student learning, since they can act as means of increasing the level of student engagement with course concepts, their peers, and us, leading to their increased success and satisfaction.

In my opinion, we should focus on blended learning because we need to transform the roles in the class room, and in the learning process: the students have to be more active and more autonomous for the learning to be more meaningfull and effective; and the teaching need to be less teacher-centered; teacher need to be more a knowledge mediator, while dedicating more time attending to the learning difficulties of his students.

Blended learning is a more interesting and relevant format for students, which makes them present and involved in the learning process; which encourages the autonomy of their own learning path because it creates contexts in which learning is no longer strictly related to a particular environment, such as school or classroom, but is accessible whenever the student wants, from anywhere and prepares them for a digitally literate society .

It can also prove very useful in addresing individual needs.Finally,
I am very interested in exploring the flipped classroom approach

The way in which blended learning is delivered is usually dependant on circumstances, making a universal, all-encompassing definition hard to establish. Wikipedia offers the following definition:

“Blended learning is an approach to education that combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based classroom methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student, with some elements of student control over time, place, path, or place.”

A blended learning model is undoubtedly a great way to augment the learner’s experience, but its advantages go beyond that. Whether you’re training employees, partners, customers or planning compliance training, organizations using blended learning will reap many rewards. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits for learners and organizations:

Benefits for learners

Blended learning offers the learner convenience and flexibility; they have the ability to control their learning pace and learn remotely.
Academic research suggests that blended learning gives learners a more comprehensive understanding of the course content.
Because blended learning allows learners to interact with instructors and fellow learners, social learning is supported.

Because paradigm is shifting, time is being more valuable for teachers and students. Blended learning can allow students to learn at their own pace in their own space and it can make move away from lectures and towards team collaboration. Also it is a good way to see teacher as a mentor or facilitator along a students centered learning.

Blended learning is generally applied to the practice of using both online and in-person learning experiences. It is the best solution for the current distress we all face and the best way to protect our students. It will even boost students' ownership skills in learning. I believe the new blended learning is a proper way to engage students in the technology and they will be competent technology users from very early age.

lucia_ferreira2 — 2021-04-26 20:12:21 UTC

I think that blended learning is not only a necessity today, but on the other hand, it can enrich the learning experiences of each student by taking into account greater flexibility and attention to each student's own pace. The teacher can go on personalizing and proposing reinforcement tasks or let the children take it upon themselves, according to their interests and needs.
I already had a student who, due to his fragile health condition, had video lessons and I accompanied him at home ... it was a very rich experience and I think that, apart from the fact that he does not benefit from direct contact with colleagues, he made a journey of very meaningful learning ... me too.

Blended learning

tasosmak1974 — 2021-04-27 07:33:55 UTC

is useful, because it covers the needs of nowadays students and people in general. It helps getting knowledge on everyones' pace and in the luxury of their home. The challenges are many and the main one has to do with the choice of the appropriate tools and videos to join the educational process. We have to know the needs of our classroom and to be wise on planning our lectures. We need timelines and goals to be achieved, but also an interesting environment to create. Nowadays chidren get tired much more easier and lack of patience. It's a long way in front of us. Good luck.

Blended learning can be an interesting outcome of school closures. Before it wasn't so much important in our primary schools, now it's a strong tool to keep in contact with students in quarantine or at home. Teachers trained in a very short time to become proficient in digital education, so it's a good idea to exploit this digital acceleration.

A Blended Learning approach can offer a lot to children's development from an early age (pre-school). Especially learning by doing outdoors or in museums, is a far more interesting way of learning thatn the traditional way in the classroom. Moreover, digital technology can help overocoming the obstacles of physical appearance, like now in the pandemic. A suitable prepare of the educators and their lifelong education is very important, in order to cope with the requirements.

Blended learning is an extension of traditional learning providing students with the benefits of both. It will give students the chance to work at their own space and it allows to reinforce those aspects that cost or interest them more. This type of education will give students the opportunity to become more autonomous learner.

My second reason: I can't be alone in the globalizing world and I love collaboration. There is always good information to learn from everyone.

Although it is true that the pandemic has brought new challenges to the learning process, especially in schools anchored in traditional education, it is also true that distance learning is not a new concept that appeared to face this pandemic. Remote learning appeared in the 19th century. In Europe, the first record appeared in 1833 in an advertisement published in Sweden that featured a correspondence course in the area of accounting.
Much has evolved since that moment. In Portugal, for example, in the 70s and 80s we had "Telescola". This kind of learning was created to combate illiteracy, allowing children who lived in inhospitable and distant places to increase their school degrees, and in many cases to learn how to read. This student s attended classes through a television set with pre-recorded contents. The knowledge verification were accompanied by a teacher, normally responsible for supporting several degrees, usually between 1st and 4th degree.
Nowadays, Blending Learning has another purpose, allowing people to look for more training, more knowledge according to their interests and according to their schedules and free time. Today, this bet on blendend learning makes more sense than ever, since the tendency for people to look for increase their knowledge and improve their skills simultaneously with their professional and personal life and blendend learning allows that. On the other hand, with the knowledge available on the web, a new way of looking at teaching has emerged, the teacher is no longer the central and only figure that transmits knowledge, but he became the mediator between the available knowledge, the areas of interest of his students and the most effective way for these students to obtain the knowledge they are looking for in a targeted way.

As when we started this wild ride, nobody has an idea. We keep on hearing worst practice experiences from a lot of people in Europe, and now we somehow have to make it work. We know that we cannot continue as we did before the pandemic, we know that we cannot continue as we did in the pandemic. The challenges are a lot, the solutions are not there yet. I hope to find some inspiration in this course.

At this time of pandemic, adapting and implementing Blended Learning is both an advantage and a challenge. An advantage because we were able to simplify and modify topics from the previous learning materials that we use. We learned to think of possible alternatives and activities that served as an avenue for the students to cope up with the situation. A challenge because of the factors affecting their academic performance. It is very evident that not all students have all the resources, access to internet and capacity to attend online classes due to geographical location. Nevertheless, blended learning opened the opportunity for the students to discover and familiarize online platforms and new methods which they can utilize in the future .

BL is important because it breaks down the traditional barriers of teaching, ones that don’t work for all students and now with access to present-day technologies and resources we can tailor the learning experience for each student. Blended learning also offers flexible time schedules that can be personalized to each student, offering them the ability to learn at their own pace.
