14. 2. 8 ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR
BLENDED LEARNING
From my classroom to yours

15. Tip #1: Have a Consistent screen layout
• 1A. Don’t make students look for their assignment. Make it easy to find (even if they
are ahead or behind)
• TIP: Masquerade and ask yourself how they’ll know.
• Blending Terminology: Wayfinding

16. TIP 1: HAVE A
CONSISTENT
LAYOUT

you number your
assignments,
you don’t HAVE
to number your
lessons.)

22. TIP #1: HAVE A
CONSISTENT
SCREEN LAYOUT
1F. If you number them, they are easy to find. So, a
student sees the number in their grades and can look up
the assignment in the classroom. This also shows them
the page it is on.

23. TIP #1: HAVE A
CONSISTENT
SCREEN LAYOUT
1G. Use consistent icons for each step.

steps on the page.

36. TIP #6: ALLOW RE-WORK (ESPECIALLY
AT THE BEGINNING)
2 Ways for Rework
 Required rework for
major projects
 Optional rework after
rubrics are received
for half the points
back on the project.
 Rework is where real
teaching and
learning happens
because they are
fixing mistakes.

37. TIP #7: USE
THE
CALENDAR
EFFECTIVELY
 Assignments shown
 Add events that link to
the pages or tasks
(students begin to
expect to see
something on the
calendar)
 This also shows when
logging in.

the big picture
