Too often, schools bring only tepid energy to the blending of traditional and online learning, Charles Mojkowski says.

Another post at the intersection of blended learning & personalized learning.

Teachers to partner the learning process rather than direct it.

Whether you are teaching in traditional face-to-face classrooms, blended, or fully online, these are key ingredients for motivated, self-directed learners.
When designing learning for digital citizenship, we need to think beyond just delivery of "content" - but how can you help students own it? Use these ingredients in your learning design!

Thank you Nancy for your insight on self-directed learners.

I often recommend to faculty wanting to become online instructors that they transition into e-learning gradually, beginning with moving some of their content online while teaching face-to-face.

Can see real positives in a blended approach to learning... interesting to see different methods

Curating is where this begins, informal, unstructured, yet purposeful.

From blended-learning, to personalized learing, to curiosity-fueled learning?

“THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IF YOU’RE NOT THE ONE CONTROLLING YOUR LEARNING, YOU’RE NOT GOING TO LEARN AS WELL.” My mom used to say this, she told me that the main thing that kids needed to learn to do was to teach themselves. She believed that it was a skill that would last them a lifetime. This article is compelling. It even elaborates on removing adult barriers.

This is yet another piece that I believe illustrates that blended learning can be a path to personalized learning.

The more I investigate this report, the more concern I have that this is not the vision I have for the future of education. As I really disect what is meant by "disruptive innovation" - it seems that the drives are usually lowering costs, reducing complexity, and downsizing. In education, our needs are far different. Perhaps this is not the right model to evaluate blended learning --unless it is the model of education that is all about reducing teacher numbers and teaching to the test -standardizing the online curriculum for the purpose of producing test scores only. In the adaptive computer based learning scenario - where is the passion, collaboration, creativity and authentic transfer of knowledge and skills to real-world tasks?

This statement pretty much sums up my concern I share with this author:
" Behind those data dashboards of sophisticated performance information and analytics, what makes a student really tick goes largely unknown, untouched by human hands, hearts, and minds."
Blended Learing to me has to be about more than just delivery of content online. The reason for blending learning must be for a greater purpose than just improving standardized test scores! It should be about using technology to its full potential -to help students realize their passions, connect globally with those that can help them learn, work on real-world problem solving and become self-directed life-long learners.
