It’s a continually changing strategy that evolves with technology.

Is K–12 blended learning disruptive?An introduction to the theory of hybrids Download the full white paper By Clayton M. Christensen, Michael B. Horn, and Heather Staker May 2013 The Clayton Christensen Institute, formerly Innosight Institute, has published three papers describing the rise of K−12 blended learning—that is, formal education programs that combine online learning and brick-and-mortar schools. Introduction to sustaining and disruptive innovation There are two basic types of innovation—sustaining and disruptive—that follow different trajectories and lead to different results. Disruptive innovations, in contrast, do not try to bring better products to existing customers in established markets. Theory of hybrids Often industries experience a hybrid stage when they are in the middle of a disruptive transformation. How to spot a hybridHybrid innovations follow a distinct pattern. Hybrid models of blended learning In many schools, blended learning is emerging as a hybrid innovation that is a sustaining innovation relative to the traditional classroom.

Quality Matters Program | Le 20 Heures de France 2 du 6 octobre 2013 en replay Deux cibles et deux raids simultanés des forces spéciales américaines, l'un en Libye et l'autre en Somalie pour interpeller 2 chefs islamistes. Washington confirme que la traque contre les terroristes se poursuit. Nous retrouverons sur place Jacques Cardoze. "Nous sommes de facto en compétition." La phrase est signée François Fillon en direction de Nicolas Sarkozy. La course pour le leadership a droite est affichée et lancée. Des enseignes Castorama et Leroy Merlin étaient ouvertes ce dimanche. Et si les solutions pour l'école venaient des enseignants eux-mêmes ? Un nouvel album enregistré à Nashville, une tournée à venir et un film avec Tonie Marshall. Le message est clair : Washington poursuit sa traque des terroristes. Les Etats-Unis proposaient 5 millions de dollars pour la capture d'Abou Anal al Liby. Les Etats-Unis ne cesseront jamais la traque des auteurs présumés d'actes terroristes. Hier, les Américains ont lancé deux opérations simultanées.
16 of the Best Blended Learning Resources In February 2014, Edreform.com published a paper on digital and blended learning that points out over “68 percent of parents support digital learning” and “digital learning has tri-partisan support, with 61 percent of Republicans, 65 percent of Independents, and 67 percent of Democrats in favor.” Such strong support may make blended learning the future standard for education.

La classe inversée, une piste d'avenir pour la France ? A l'heure du décrochement sensible de la France dans les grands classements éducatifs internationaux, repenser le mariage entre pédagogie et TICE (les Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication appliquées à l'Enseignement) est essentiel. Non seulement ces dernières peuvent permettre aux enseignants et aux apprenants de développer des compétences utiles aux élèves - créativité et autonomie, capacités de résolution de problèmes et de raisonnement, capacités de sélection de l'information et de communication, etc. - mais elles peuvent en plus renouveler nos approches pédagogiques. Pour cela, il convient cependant d'éviter deux écueils : ne pas voir les TICE comme un élément central dans un processus d'apprentissage global (et donc les intégrer de façon décrochée à la pédagogie) et consécutivement mettre en place la technologie d'abord et seulement ensuite songer aux applications pédagogiques de cette technologie. Ceci nous invite donc à repenser notre usage pédagogique des TICE.
Blended Learning Theory and Design Principles | Teaching and Learning Excellence Blended Learning Theory and Design Principles Behaviorism Identify goals and objective to be learned; create environments for learning that assists the learner in acquiring goals; review, examine and consider adopting and adapting existing materials before developing new ones. Implications for online learning Learners should be told the explicit outcomes of the learning so they can set expectations and can judge for themselves whether or not they have achieved the outcome of the online lesson. Cognitivism Design course to include problem solving; provide sufficient help and resources to assist learning in solving problems; Structure problems in steps so learners can be successful in developing their own solutions; analyze learning readiness for learning core concepts, principles and attitudes of the course; and establish course prerequisites. Implications for blended learning Constructivism Keep learners active by engaging them in meaningful activities that result in high-level processing.
bilan-classe-inversee-aout-2013.pdf Blended Learning What is blended learning? Blended learning is not the same as technology-rich instruction. It goes beyond one-to-one computers and high-tech gadgets. Blended learning involves leveraging the Internet to afford each student a more personalized learning experience, including increased student control over the time, place, path, and/or pace of learning. The definition of blended learning is 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. What are the most common models of blended learning? The majority of blended-learning programs resemble one of four models: Rotation, Flex, A La Carte, and Enriched Virtual.

Présentation Ce site a pour but d’expliquer le concept de classe inversée à tous les professeurs qui souhaitent avoir un réel impact auprès de leurs élèves et qui veulent connaitre les meilleures méthodes pour développer une ambiance de classe motivante et décontractée. Exemple de classe inversée Ce concept connait un succès grandissant : de plus en plus de professeurs à travers le monde modifient leur façon de “faire la classe” pour passer à un modèle plus pratique et plus humain. Ce modèle part d’une idée très simple : le précieux temps de classe serait mieux utilisé si on s’en servait pour interagir et travailler ensemble plutôt que de laisser une seule personne parler. La classe inversée : plus qu’une méthode, une philosophie Professeur guidant un groupe de travail Il s’agit donc davantage d’une philosophie que d’une méthode à proprement parler. Un modèle plus humain Les interactions deviennent plus conviviales Les avantages de ce modèle sont multiples, mais le principal est la liberté qu’il procure.
