Roadmap to Blended Learning (4 Nov 2011)

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Where are we headed in K-12 education with respect to technology and learning? What are the vehicles ("ships" in this metaphor using the Waldseemüller map) that will take us into this future? What activities should characterize effective blended learning in the future? These are Wesley Fryer's slides for a presentation on these topics for New York educational leaders in November 2011.

The Fire

There was a fire ban that yearBut the carless campers left

Leaving smoldering remains behindThe fire that ate the forest

Wind whispered wordlessly in the treesThe fire was given new lifeLike a new small heartbeatThe fire that ate the forest

...continued...

The fire lit the dry grassIt was gathering in strength

Like a lion preparing to strikeThe fire that ate the forest

The fire now reached the treesIt was a wild beast let free

Grey smoke billowed up to the skyThe fire that ate the forest

digital simplicity matters

should be buy netbooks?

should we buy laptops?

Right Question: What do you want learners to DO?

blended learning is...

...a combination of face-to-face, online, & hybrid learning strategies
