Mobile learning encompasses a lot of what e-learning is about. Essentially 24/7 access anywhere.

Mobile learning can be increasingly creative in relation to topical learning, topic dependent. For example, session 2 e-resource activity requires pupils to actively be creative in finding out different ways of counting, therefore a progression of the session 2 activity (school funding and age dependent), could progress to include an orienteering activity around the school using a mobile phone, to find a certain number of chairs, a specific coloured table. This interactive learning incorporates personalization principle, multimedia principle and visual principle. These principles can vary dependent on the activity, the learning objectives and learning outcome.

Week 14 – Blended Learning

Post-Monday’s 06/02/17 class.

(Hubbard, 2013:93) ‘“The combination of different training media (technologies, activities and types of events) to create an optimum training program for a specific audience.
The term blended means the traditional instructor-led training is being supplemented with other electronic formats.’

Blended Learning Models – http://www.blendedlearning.org/models/

Station Rotation
Lab Rotation
Individual Rotation
Flipped Classroom
A La Carte
Enriched Virtual – (difficult if do not have access to technology).

Q– how does blended learning relate to my e-resource?—how will it be used it my e-resource?

re. Session 4 – Padlet.

Blended learning will be incorporated through the model Flipped Classroom, incorporating home learning with influential tendencies into classroom learning.

Using the tool, Padlet, to share individual pupil’s favorite way of counting, as a collaborative activity. Parents would take a picture of this preferred method and upload it to Padlet. This would then be printed and put up on display. This display could then be used for just display purposes, to show class work; or for all children to remember different ways of counting as a reference, if they get stuck on their counting in class or at home, as they can still access the Padlet remotely from home.

Activity progression can include: copying other counting methods as other children have shared on the Padlet, inspiring other ideas to think creatively (outside of the box) to think of other ways of counting, incorporating these counting ideas into other classroom or home activities.

Q– would having an educator/parent participation, impact on child’s learning from the e-resource?
