Blended Learning

-


Blended Learning or Hybrid Learning combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning, offering a flexible and interactive educational experience.

Types of Blended Learning 

1. Flipped classroom :Students engage with instructional content online at home, allowing in-class time for application, discussion, and clarification.

2. Rotation Model:

Station Rotation: Students rotate between learning stations, some of which involve online activities.

Lab Rotation: Similar to station rotation but with a dedicated computer lab for online components.

3. Flex Model: Students progress through content at their own pace, often with teacher support as needed, and use online resources for a significant portion of their learning.

4. Self-Directed Model: Students have considerable autonomy in their learning, accessing online resources and collaborating with peers while teachers provide guidance and support.

5. Enriched Virtual Model: Most learning occurs online, with occasional in-person sessions for activities, projects, or assessments.

  This week was quite dynamic as we conducted conscientisation programs and other school-based activities on October 14th. Due to a packed schedule, we didn’t have any free periods, which meant we had to adjust our class timings to fit everything in. This challenge encouraged teamwork and flexibility among the staff, allowing us to successfully carry out the programs while ensuring that our educational goals remained a priority. On October 15th, we were unable to hold regular classes because of the inauguration of the creative corner by the honorable mayor. This event provided a unique opportunity for the school community to celebrate creativity and innovation. It was a wonderful experience, filled with excitement and pride, as the mayor's presence underscored the importance of fostering a creative environment for our students. The following day, October 16th, Nadeem sir observed my teaching for the second time. He noted significant improvements since his last visit and provided co...
