Blended Learning Models



As I was reading about certain learning models I decided to go with the Station Model because of the flexibility it allows with different types of activities in class. I have also chose to do the stations model because I have access to 5 desktop computers which will make the stations idea doable on a daily basis in my room without the need of a computer lab.

Usually my traditional classroom allows for a section of whole class instruction, following with individual and group practice, then an exit ticket. Review is spiraled in during warm-ups and at the beginnings of each new lesson.

I would like my blended learning classroom to consist of a combination of 4 stations on a daily basis. Those stations would encompass a direct instruction station based on new material, a 2nd station based on practice of a topic, a 3rd station based on computer technology, and a 4th station based on review of topics covered in previous lessons.
