This week we explore to blended learning, which I think is quite practical to our education system today. blending involves providing the end-user with the appropriate learning delivery mode (ILT classroom, virtual classroom, web-based tutorial, CD-ROM, mentoring, team collaboration, and print) to support the learning objectives. The advantages of blended learning is quite impressive. The power of the blend is in sequencing the activities, engaging the learner in different ways, and then optimizing the combined learning effect. In a blended course, truly "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts." The design challenge is to create the most effective synergy of activities and learning style engagements. Blended Learning incorporates all the options and benefits of synchronous, asynchronous, and traditional delivery modes. It is believe will effectively engage the learning preferences of the students. But, just like other learning approaches, an instructor needs to plan carefully according so that it will really bring positive effect to the students. And I believe, the blended learning will play an important role leads our education from tradisioanl approach to e-learning in future.
We explore to Bloom Tax and Technology Integration Matrix resource. These two resource really useful in helping teacher design activity according to students technology level. I found that the TIM is really useful guide to teachers who like to integrate technology in their classroom. It gave me some inspiration how to design my lesson with some technology tools. I believe it will also help others who wish to improve their teaching instruction with technology.
