Blended Learning

Before beginning this task I definitely had to do some research again on what is Blended Learning? From my education classes I remember learning the term, as well as E-Learning, but if you don’t use it, you lose it. Therefore, I began my re-search with, what better place then, the Ministry of Education Ontario government website. There was a good definition, a great comparative chart between classroom, blended, and e-learning, as well as links to other resources.
From what I can gather here are some examples of programs schools can use as a platform for blended learning in their classrooms:
  1. MiiQuest (http://www.edvation.com/miiquest/) is a program I quickly researched that could be used in the Primary grades.
  2. Edsby (http://edsby.com/) is a program I have a bit of personal experience with when I had my placement in a high school. When I checked out the website I noticed that elementary schools use this program as well, therefore, I would use it in the Junior division.
  3. Moodle (https://moodle.org/) is something I have a lot of experience with because I used it in university. Again, when I went to their website it explained that elementary schools use this program too. You could use this program with Senior grades.
