Blended Learning

Reading Mr. Brian Greenberg's blog post on Blend My Learning I learned that they are not in the business of advertising or promoting blended learning they prefer to focus on educators and they have the educators write about the real ups and downs of personalized learning. I think this is key because every educator experiences deffrent obstacles throughout their carers. But in this blog he posted this video is good enough to post.


The reason he posted this video is because it dose a good job of showing what the future of education could look like. They show us a lot of the elements of good blended learning that shows using tech tools in meaningful ways that gets students to truly interact with each other through projects. Some of these projects could be done by using Skype and other multimedia tools. This is what he called “bridging” the gap between home and school. Although this video is way out of reality and is far beyond the budgets of most schools especially in mobile and Baldwin county. In his blog he says yes their are some things that this video does not do and he gives us an example witch is that it still shows many of the same traditional elements of school were there are 27 students to a class with a teacher in front of the class standing in front of the whiteboard. This video was ment to focuses more on technology aspect rather than on school redesign. This video Mr. Greenberg said" is a compelling vision of what blended learning could start to look like, Now let’s make it happen." I really enjoyed reading this blog and watching the video it was very compelling and got me pumped about blended learning.
