Table Talk - What can they (teacher/students) do now that they couldn’t do before?
Our ongoing question for the cohort is "What can be done now that couldn't be done before?" The show starts with the reality of the teacher's situation. Through interviews, the audience can understand the specific needs of the classroom and their environment is changed to meet the needs. What capabilities are there for the teacher/students after the remodel?

LTI: What does this mean for you? Are you using websites such as Khan Academy for students to do work? Khan academy and other sites have a portal that connects to and LMS. You can even bring in content from OER Commons. It allows various data to be sent from the site to the LMS. Which ones can you use for this? Check Here. Contact AEA PD Online for more information.
-
OER Commons: Is a place for you to look for resources that others have shared and to share ones that you have found or used in your classroom. OER Commons is a resource that we use through AEA PD Online. You can go to OER Commons and create an account. (Here is a quick video to guide you through the process.) You will have to verify it through an email address. Once your account is verified, scroll down on the hub to the group Keystone and click Request Join the Group.

Blended Learning
70 min
What a better way to learn about the blended-learning models than to try one? During this sample station rotation, participants rotate among hands-on stations to learn about and analyze the four common models of blended learning.
First, our content for this section comes in the form of videos. Here, you will have 10 minutes to view your assigned video. Take note of the following:
-
What are the challenges of this model?
-
What are the benefits of this model?
-
What roles did faculty play in this new model?
-
What roles did computers play in the model?
Second, we will engage in station rotation:
Station 1: A small-group discussion about the advantages and challenges of each model. Use this PADLET to share your thinking.
Station 2: A group-project station, where participants create a poster that showcases how the models differ.
Station 3: How do we seize its potential… first, let's understand more.

Station 4: Independent station: Teaching competencies of Blended Learning-- What is expected of a blended teacher? In this station, scan through the blended teacher competencies (beginning on page 10 of the PDF linked above) and how the specific expectations of the blended teacher stretches you as a teacher. Take time to reflect on your current practice and the connections to the Blended Learning teacher competencies.
