Week 7

Digital - Blending learning

Flipped lesson videos.
Try the flipped task in class - flipped task where they watch the video lesson / instruction in class and work with the students to apply the task.

Negatives
Time to create them.
Will junior students utilize and go back to the videos?

Positives
Students able to go back to the video for future reference

Thoughts
How could it be managed in a junior classroom to ensure students are getting the value from the flipped learning?

Collaboration
To get genuine collaboration you need to be honest (make yourself vulnerable) about the stuff you are not good at so you can collaborate well together.

Other ways for blending learning
Start learning in class and then get them to extend (flipped flipped learning)

If students aren't learning then what can I do or change to help them?
The power of research when trying to make change with colleagues, here is the research that supports what I am proposing and here is the data. Here is the impact. If you would like to try something different show me the research!

Flipped classroom type approached uses a blended approach with a mix of online and brick and mortar.


Writing - blended learning

Distributed leadership

Jones (n.d.) defines distributed leadership as action by many people working collectively across the institution to build leadership capacity in learning and teaching. It differs from other, more traditional, approaches to building leadership capacity in which the traits, skills and behaviours of individual leaders are emphasised.

High trust mode and embrace failing. Vision and values. Build the culture for distributed leadership
