❖ Our Experiences with Blended
Classrooms
❖ How to Get Started
❖ Blended Learning Tools
❖ Questions
What is Blended Learning?
• Blended learning is a hybrid way of learning
!
• Combines small group instruction with the 

teacher and personalized instruction on a 

computer/tablet
!
• Uses adaptive technology
!
• Blended learning allows students to control the pace and content of
their own instruction.
!
• Blended Learning is NOT Technology Integration.
Blended learning combines traditional direct
instruction from the teacher and instruction and
practice on a computer/tablet
BLENDED LEARNING
+ =
“Technology is not a
teacher - even with the best
software, the technology is
not the professional in the
room.”
-Talbot Bielefeldt, ISTE Senior Research Associate
What does an elementary
level blended learning
classroom look like?
Elementary Blended Learning Classroom
❖ There are several models of blended learning.
❖ In our classes, we use a station-rotation model.
❖ If you are already

teaching using the

workshop model, 

you are only a step 

away from creating a 

blended learning 

classroom.
Small Group
Instruction with a
Teacher
Students still receive direct
instruction from a teacher or
assistant daily.
Data
Instruction and
Practice on
Computer/Tablet
Students will use online learning
programs and teacher created
lessons to continue their direct
instruction.
Centers &
Partner Work
Collaboration with peers is still
essential to student learning.
Independent
Work
Independent work can be used
as informal assessment and
allows students continued
practice with that day’s
instruction.

Our Experiences
with Blended
Learning
Here are just a few things
that we’ve learned along
the way…
Student Experience with Technology
Helpful Hint
Keep in mind what
technology students have
access to home. Not every
student will have access to
a computer, tablet, and/or
smartphone at home.
Organization
Helpful Hint
Assign each student a
device.
Accountability
Helpful Hint
Technology Contract -
Have students and parents
sing a technology contract
that outlines your
expectations for
technology use.
Headphones
Helpful Hint
Add headphones to your back to
school supply list or ask your
PTO to purchase some for the
classroom.
!
Teach students how to take them
out of the computers.
!
K-2 students usually don’t like
earbuds.
Computers versus Tablets
Helpful Hint
!
If you have a choice
between computers and
tablets, ask yourself:
What is my purpose for
using the technology?
Compatibility of Programs
Helpful Hint
Test the programs you’d
like to use on your device
before giving assignments
to students.
First Steps to Building Your
Own Blended Classroom

What Our Students Think
“We use technology everyday. If it’s
iPads, computers, or the
SMARTBoard, it counts. I like this
school because the teachers tell us
to never give up and do what’s right
for you.”
-Samay, 2nd Grade Student
“The best thing that I like about
Coltrane-Webb is that we get to use
lots of technology. On the
computers, we use websites like
Dreambox and Sumdog for math,
RAZ-Kids for reading and Pebble-Go
in Science and Social Studies.”
~Tealy, 2nd Grade Student
“We are a lucky school to have all of this
technology.”
~Ben, 2nd Grade Student
“In my class, we use Dreambox.
Dreambox is for math. I like it because
you’re learning, but you’re having fun and
if you get stuck, they help you out.”
~Amelia, 2nd Grade Student
We use technology to teach us math and
reading and typing and lots more. We
use the laptops and iPads each and
every day. The students learn a lot at
this school.”
~Charlotte, 2nd Grade Student

  • 30. What Our Students Think “We use technology everyday. If it’s iPads, computers, or the SMARTBoard, it counts. I like this school because the teachers tell us to never give up and do what’s right for you.” -Samay, 2nd Grade Student “The best thing that I like about Coltrane-Webb is that we get to use lots of technology. On the computers, we use websites like Dreambox and Sumdog for math, RAZ-Kids for reading and Pebble-Go in Science and Social Studies.” ~Tealy, 2nd Grade Student “We are a lucky school to have all of this technology.” ~Ben, 2nd Grade Student “In my class, we use Dreambox. Dreambox is for math. I like it because you’re learning, but you’re having fun and if you get stuck, they help you out.” ~Amelia, 2nd Grade Student We use technology to teach us math and reading and typing and lots more. We use the laptops and iPads each and every day. The students learn a lot at this school.” ~Charlotte, 2nd Grade Student
