Gamification – using game design and mechanics to increase motivation
Flipped Classroom – students receive direct instruction at home via video and spend classroom time doing assignments with teacher’s assistance
TRENDS IN EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY (MEANS TO AN END)
Nationally, there were an estimated 1,816,400 enrollments in distance-education courses in K-12 school districts in 2009-2010, almost all of which were online courses. 74% of these enrollments were in high schools.
AVI CHAI study in 2012 showed that only 23.4% of day schools offer online courses to their students and only a handful of their students (defined as less than 5%) are enrolled in the online courses.
ONLINE LEARNING
Blended Learning:a formal education program in which a student learns:• at least in part through online learning, with
some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace;• at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home;• and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience.- Clayton Christensen Institute (2011)
