The Blended Learning Series: Rotation Model
Online and Blended Learning, Technology | K-12
-
This model allows students to use study halls or after-school time to take online courses not available at your school.
-
Students receive dynamic in-person instruction for part of the week and then complete coursework online at home the other days.
-
Students work through online material while on location at school, with teachers nearby to offer support and deepen learning.
-
Students rotate between in-person and online instruction modalities through stations, labs, flipped learning practices, or based on individual needs.
Blended learning is here to stay. Modern tech has shaped the way students think and interact with the world, and it’s essential that teachers integrate technology into their instruction to build students’ digital literacy, engagement, and college and career readiness. Blended learning allows students to master concepts at their own pace—and teachers to act as the expert learning designers, mentors, and facilitators they are.
In this course, you will learn how to integrate the rotation model of blended learning into your classroom. With this model, students rotate between in-person and online instruction modalities, where the rotation structure might be based on stations, labs, flipped learning practices, or individual needs. You’ll explore practical strategies to succeed with this type of blended learning, including how to:
- Adapt your professional routines to create this type of learning community
- Choose the right online tools to build student-centered learning experiences
- Differentiate instruction and assessment methods to increase accessibility and engagement
- Help students take ownership of their learning
By the end of the course, you will be able to design and implement meaningful blended learning experiences using the rotation model to foster students’ core 21st-century skills.
