    "Systematic reviews of literature are studies that strategically search for published research on a specific topic in order to synthesize what is known about the topic. This systematic review describes 157 articles on synchronous online learning (SOL) from thirty-four different countries on instructional setting, content areas, participant demographics, research designs, independent and dependent variables, SOL technologies, and data-collection tools.

    This paper profiles 40 organizations that are blending online learning with brick-and-mortar classrooms. These represent a range of operators, including state virtual schools, charter management organizations, individual charter schools, independent schools, districts, and private entities. The organizations profiled in this paper are not a "top 40" list. Thousands of other schools are currently participating in blended learning and may have superior programs.

  • It’s important to note that this process is different from, for example, simply giving students a video of grammar rules to watch at home, then going over the concepts from that video in class.

      I couldn't agree with this more.  Watching a grammar video would be so boring for my students.  I like to be present when explaining grammar concepts so I can answer their questions.

      I never thought about it this way before but I can see how technology in a flipped classroom can provide immediate and accurate feedback to students.

  • In the flipped teaching model, students “front load” their language abilities by learning vocabulary and phrases independently before each class. Teachers can then build on what their students have already learned, practicing and applying that knowledge in class through com

      I still have doubts about this aspect. Most of my students prefer to be taught grammar and vocabulary in class rather by themselves with a computer. Once again how much can we offer them though online and how much should we explain this in class?

      Using eduCanon to embed questions into music videos is far more convenient than answering questions with simple pen and paper. If you aren't an eduCanon fan at the very least these sites are great resources for Spanish language music for interpretive activities.
  • Next, my recent favorite, eduCanon.

      Silent videos can be used to create an interpretive activity for any language. Simon's cat is a good resource for silent videos, the following link also has many great silent videos that work with developing emotional intelligence and creative writing: http://ineverycrea.net/comunidad/ineverycrea/recurso/10-cortometrajes-para-trabajar-la-educacion-emocio/0f46341c-920e-48da-8147-0656407da4f1

      Here is a great interpretive activity; having students use Twitter to convey how a song makes them feel or to write a ministory in 140 characters or less!

      I found this idea particularly insightful because I feel students must understand the main idea of the video fairly well to condense the theme into 140 characters!
  • First, let’s talk resources; here are some of my “go-to” music websites for Spanish. Feel free to add your own comments with additional sources that you like to use.

  • This tool can be used in any discipline, with any grade. What a neat way to begin class, end class or assign as an independent practice activity. By embedding music videos into eduCanon, the teacher can pose questions about the actual video or the music lyrics that may appear. Here is a sample video I created in English using a great silent film source: Simon’s Cat

      I find this idea very interesting. I might use a collection of music videos in eduCanon to work with students about vocabulary related to emotional states.

      I like the idea about using silent films like Simon Cat. Another source for silent films could be Charlie Chaplin.
  • -Have students describe how they feel when listening to the music, in #140charactersorless: write a mini story to go with the music & emotions, post to Twitter or a learning management site used {Edmodo, Schoology, Canvas, etc}, share their stories in small groups, collaborate using Google Docs to create a unique tale based on the music they hear, present their stories to the class {act it out, swap stories with another group, re-enact silently: have classmates reinvent the original story}
