Over the last 35 plus year, I have been either in school, working in a school, or even developing a school for students. The majority of all classrooms look exactly how I was taught when I was elementary school, high school, and even in college. The teacher arranges the desk to face forward for large group instruction and the students might have the ability to work in small group, on the floor, or even in the hallway when there was a group project. The majority of the classroom all seem to resemble the picture to right. |
What are the three main ingredients to a blended learning classroom? In my opinions Place, Path, and Pace create the base to developing a blended learning environment. Today, we are going to talk about Place and how learning can happen in any environment. With blended learning the students now have the ability to work in non-traditional classroom settings as well as outside of the classroom. No longer does learning have to happen within a classroom. It can happen on a bus, at home, in the cafeteria, courtyard, or even in a gym. The classroom no longer defines the learning, the learning defines the place. Below are just a few of my favorite learning designs, learning layouts, and even learning locations.
