Asynchronous Learning Networks for a Blended Classroomby Bart Fennemore
Assessed Needs • Reasons for not using technology on assignments or in the classroom. • Rank order of selected reasons.
Areas of Focus • A blended learning environment • Access to technology available on a daily basis • One-to-one student computing • Student engagement through technology • Anywhere anytime learning • Prevention of lost learning time for absent students • Less lecture = More collaborative activities • Increased creativity through a variety of tasks
Plan • Create an Asynchronous Learning Network (ALN) • Build ALN’s use in the classroom • One-to-one computing, technology-based tasks (limited paper use), inquiry-based learning • Prepare students for ALN-driven courses of the future • Feedback to students: audio, video, and inking • Tasks for students: collaborative, constructivist, independent, and codependent
