"What does this emerging landscape of educational delivery models look like? I have categorized the models not just in terms of modality-ranging from face-to-face to fully online-but also in terms of the method of course design (see Figure 1). These two dimensions allow a richer understanding of the new landscape of educational delivery models. Within this landscape, the following primary models have emerged: ad hoc online courses and programs, fully online programs, School-as-a-Service, educational partnerships, competency-based education, blended/hybrid courses and the flipped classroom, and MOOCs (see Figure 2)." This article has excellent graphis and visuals to help explain his categories.

"eSkeletons is a great website produced by the Department of Anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin. eSkeletons features interactive models of mammal skeletons. Select a model from the menu on the home page then click on any bone in the model to view it in detail. After select a bone to view you can choose from a menu of viewing angles. In many cases eSkeletons offers a short video display of the bone you've selected from the menu." Great tool for allowing students to compare bones and learn the glossary of mammal science.

"Thinking Blocks is a nice site for elementary and middle school mathematics teachers. Thinking Blocks provides interactive templates in which students use brightly colored blocks to model and solve problems. As students work through the problems they are provided with feedback as to whether or not they are using the correct sequence to solve each problem. There are templates and problems for addition, multiplication, fractions, and ratios. You can also develop your own problems using the modeling tool." T/H to R. Byrne

"The Frayer Model is a vocabulary development tool. In contrast with a straight definition, the model helps to develop a better understanding of complex concepts by having students identify not just what something is, but what something is not." This is an example of a worksheet, which I wasn't able to download in the other citation. The sheet is quite straightforward, and looks useful, insofar as vocabulary can be taught through direct method. Good for important concepts, class discussion, and work with definitions.

This teacher uses modeling with the whiteboard so that students can get right to work on their digital task -- even if it's similar to something they have done before.

An interesting theoretical model that shows visually some of the things we in CALL-IS have been saying over the year. Computers can redefine what teaching and learning is, bu maybe we have to go through everything else in SAMR first.

Models two ways of coaching new teachers, online and real time. Sharing video of a previously taped class can is fast and can be very point-specific. The coach/mentor can type up and email comments, create an audio over, or Skype with the teacher while both watch the tape together. Real-time coaching involves a pre- and post-meeting with a live observer, who prompts a teacher through an earphone during the live session with students.

"The Frayer Model is a strategy that uses a graphic organizer for vocabulary building. This technique requires students to (1) define the target vocabulary words or concepts, and (2) apply this information by generating examples and non-examples. This information is placed on a chart that is divided into four sections to provide a visual representation for students."

A model of how a whole class discussion can lead to formative assessment, revision and expansion of ideas, and collaborative learning with very young learners.

This is a nice article summarizing the major current models of instructional design, with resources noted. Excellent place to start for professional growth or teacher education course.

This crowd-sourcing movement seems the model for other types of expansions as well.

This blog offers "prepared Brainstorming" as a way to avoid the common abuses of brainstorming: . . . "brainstorming is clearly an oft-used and abused strategy in both classes and staff meetings at school. While we have developed this strategy somewhat with techniques like Think-Pair-Share, we can still fall back on the traditional model when strapped for time, with far from stellar outcomes. "While this infographic focuses on brainstorming, I think its message resonates across all forms of group work that occurs in schools, involving both students and teachers. I think it deserves reflection." The infographic offers the tips to good brainstorming in class and preparation beforehand.

"History is so often seen as boring and meaningless to students who can't grasp why they need to learn about events and people from the past. These two music videos from Soomo Publishing have high production value and utilize current pop music songs with a historical twist on the lyrics. The first one is about the Declaration of Independence and uses One Republic's Too Late to Apologize. The focus of the second video is women's suffrage and it uses Lady Gaga's Bad Romance to tell this important story." Maybe these could be a model for student-created videos.

"Vygotsky controversially argued for educators to assess students' ability to solve problems, rather than knowledge acquisition. The idea of collaborative learning has a lot to do with Vygotsky's idea of the "zone of proximal development". It considers what a student can do if aided by peers and adults. By considering this model for learning, we might consider collaboration to increase students' awareness of other concepts." Excellent, well-documented advise on using collaborative learning and its value for learners.

Addresses the Common Core Standards, which the teacher gives to the students as a handout. This lesson in reading literature prepares students for a writing assignment. Useful for EFL as well as for ESL teachers in the U.S. Models questioning and defining vocabulary through images and real-life experiences.

An excellent outline of teaching models for courses offered in an online environment. "The online learning environment allows educators and students to exchange ideas and information, work together on projects, around the clock, from anywhere in the world, using multiple communication modes. Given the advantages and resources of this rich learning environment, how can multiple instructional strategies best be utilized for online learning? Just as in the traditional classroom, instructional strategies are most effective when employed specifically to meet particular learning goals and objectives. Effective course design can begin with asking and answering the key question: what are the major learning goals and objectives for this course? "

Watch TV shows on your computer. You may wish to use excerpts from episodes in your class as conversation starters or models for social interactions to be play-acted.

" I'm building up a collection of instructional posts to help you to use the apps." Instructional guide to using the many different elements in Google Apps (GSuite), such as Sheets, Drive, Docs, and Slides. Good for teachers and upper level students.

"In the month of March 2012, an International team of 4 elementary school classrooms are conducting Action Research about quality writing through blogging.
