Blended Learning Models by Loreal Edmondson https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt en-us 2023-03-08 18:09:38 UTC 2025-10-29 16:26:12 UTC hello@padlet.com I think station rotation could work well in the high school library https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2514692086 2023-03-13 16:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2514692086 We have plenty of space in our library to move around and our AVID strategies already support interactive and blended learning. mlucky2_5 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2514699222 2023-03-13 16:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2514699222 Even though most students enjoy moving during class, there are often one or two students who just want to sit in one place and may be reluctant to fully participate in learning. mlucky2_5 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2514702589 2023-03-13 16:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2514702589 I think it could work really well with English or History classes. One idea could be stations where you learn background information needed before reading a book in English, or about important events or people from a specific time in history and how they impacted each other. At NCTIES last year, the teen librarian presentation talked about using stations for learning about Black History Month. mlucky2_5 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2514708743 2023-03-13 16:22:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2514708743 Station Rotation & Flipped kadloo5 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516035802 For the high school library, I see the station rotation model and flipped classroom model most effective. The station rotation makes sense for the library space and for collaborating with classroom teachers. It allows students a mix of autonomy and structure to keep them engaged.

The flipped model would also be useful, allowing students to complete online instruction at home and then use time in the library to practice and create with teacher and peer support.]]> 2023-03-14 12:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516035802 Collaboration & Space kadloo5 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516037211 I see the station rotation model working well because of our space and willingness to collaborate with each other. The flipped model also benefits from our being a 1:1 district.]]> 2023-03-14 12:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516037211 Inflexibility kadloo5 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516040879 Some of the models were harder for me to imagine working at Northwood. The lab rotation would be hard to work without a dedicated computer lab. It is also less appealing to me overall. While I like the autonomy students have with the individual rotation, it's hard for me to imagine students staying on task and engaged, though that might be my own inflexible thinking at play.]]> 2023-03-14 12:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516040879 Collaborating & Creating kadloo5 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516042672 I think the station rotation model is being used by many teachers in their classrooms already. We could leverage this knowledge by inviting them into the library to collaborate on our own versions of this.]]> 2023-03-14 12:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516042672 Station rotations would definitely work well in the high school library. Students are very engaged with stations in the regular classroom, so to have the space to spread out and have as many stations as you would want to have would be amazing. jkimrey1_4 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516081148 2023-03-14 13:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516081148 I think the flipped model could be a strong option, especially with the 1:1 chromebooks and as a great option for my library specifically with my current space situation during our 3rd block. jkimrey1_4 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516082954 2023-03-14 13:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516082954 Some kids just don't like groups. They want to work individually no matter what so station rotation could pose an issue for those students. With a flipped model some students may not have earbuds/headphones to listen to a recording during class. jkimrey1_4 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516086014 2023-03-14 13:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516086014 The offer of space for spreading out and work more productively would be very enticing for teachers. jkimrey1_4 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516090351 2023-03-14 13:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516090351 dreynoldsbrooks5 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516413311 Station rotation and flipped learning could both be great for my space. We could have stations in the commons or spread out and have stations in different rooms. Flipped would be great for me to introduce something before having students come and spread out.]]> 2023-03-14 16:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516413311 dreynoldsbrooks5 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516418090 Station rotation: there can be two stations that involve either direct instruction or facilitation instead of just one when there are two adults in the room. Flipped learning can alleviate the awkwardness of trying to present around columns or save everyone the time of me presenting in the classroom before moving the class to library spaces.]]> 2023-03-14 16:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516418090 dreynoldsbrooks5 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516422702 Flipped learning only works if the students actually watch the video and pay attention to what's being taught. If my video isn't that engaging, I'll be doing some reteaching once I get everyone in the library.]]> 2023-03-14 16:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516422702 dreynoldsbrooks5 https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516430274 We can entice teachers by finding a way to collaborate using one of these models that will engage the students and help the teachers do something that they might not be able to do as well without our space--or without an extra set of hands. ]]> 2023-03-14 16:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ledmondson5_4/ydtdbpwzayri7jgt/wish/2516430274
