Blended Learning: Mixing the Real and the Virtual
Sep 25, 2008

Blended (hybrid) learning is sometimes seen as the transition point between face-to-face (F2F) and purely online learning. This approach combines both F2F learning activities with online ones in a creative, rich-learning mix. See how blended learning strategies may enhance learning, student collaboration, course accessibility, learner convenience, informational security, student retention, classroom community building and rich learner assessment. See how to build multi-use resources. Bring course syllabi to set up blending strategies and sequences for your own course(s).

One of my kid's teachers has been using some online tutorials to get kids minds going throughout the day. She said it was a good midday way to wake the brain up and is only used for a half hour and promotes brain development. What do you think? I believe the site she uses is http://www.fitbrains.com/games/.

Hello, Mr. Jonsson: I think a lot of the value of games has to do with how they're deployed and used. These games on the site that I've tried are straightforward and seem to work for what they're designed to do. These are simple types of learning. I don't know what age group you're referring to per se, but these seem like K-3 to me. Or maybe K1-3.
It's great that you're aware and involved with your children's learning.
I think your question here would be great for the teacher to understand his / her approach and rationale. :)
