    High school programs are analyzed for the process best used to plan for and implement iPad programs. While pedagogy gets its own paragraph it isn't really covered.

  • Lessons Learned from the Hybrid Course Project
  • Lesson #1: There is no standard approach to a hybrid course.
  • Lesson #2: Redesigning a traditional course into a hybrid takes time.

      As I was reviewing information from Brain Rules to confirm my recollection about the 10 minute rule, I found the following quote from Medina that also seems signficant with regard to a possible hybrid course advantage. He says the most common communication mistake is "relating too much information with not enough time devoted to connecdting the dots. Lots of force feeding, very little digestion." Might this be an advantage of presenting information online in a content-heavy course? Maybe the logistics of breaking up a 45 minute period that don't work well face-to-face might work better by presenting some content online. My gut says yet, but I'd like to see real examples of this.

      This is interesting because it is consistent with the research report in the book Brain Rules by John Medina. Brain Rules reported that students attention in a class drops a significant amount after 10 minutes and that you need to change gears to get another 10 minutes. So breaking up a video lecture into 10 minutes segments seperated by releveant problem sovling fits right in with that.
  • Hybrid instructors should allow six months lead time for course development.
  • Lesson #3: Start small and keep it simple.
  • "Integrate online with face-to-face, so there aren't two separate courses."
  • "The emphasis is on pedagogy, not technology. Ask yourself what isn't working in your course that can be done differently or better online."
  • Lesson #4: Redesign is the key to effective hybrid courses to integrate the face-to-face and online learning.
  • , instructors need to make certain that the time and resources required to create a hybrid course are available before they commit to the process.
  • Students need to have strong time management skills in hybrid courses, and many need assistance developing this skill.

      Participation in an online course might be an authentic way to provide high-school (and maybe older middle-school) students the opportunity to practice time management skills in an authentic way. However, this would need to be handled carfully so students who are not successful at first are not completey lost or so far behind that they can't be successful later after learning from their mistakes.
  • Contrary to many instructors' initial concerns, the hybrid approach invariably increases student engagement and interactivity in a course.
  • Lesson #6: Students don't grasp the hybrid concept readily.
  • Lesson #5: Hybrid courses facilitate interaction among students, and between students and their instructor.
  • Surprisingly, many of the students don't perceive time spent in lectures as "work", but they definitely see time spent online as work, even if it is time they would have spent in class in a traditional course.
  • Lesson #7: Time flexibility in hybrid courses is universally popular.
  • Lesson #8: Technology was not a significant obstacle.
  • Lesson #9: Developing a hybrid course is a collegial process.
  • Lesson #10: Both the instructors and the students liked the hybrid course model.
  • They stated that the hybrid model improved their courses because Student interactivity increased, Student performance improved, and They could accomplish course goals that hadn't been possible in their traditional course.

    This article about the lessons learned during a higher-ed blended learning project is a decade old but still interesting and relevant.

  • I heard a vice-president of IBM tell an audience of people assembled to redesign the process of teacher certification that in his opinion this country became computer-literate by self-teaching, not through any action of schools. He said 45 million people were comfortable with computers who had learned through dozens of non-systematic strategies, none of them very formal; if schools had pre-empted the right to teach computer use we would be in a horrible mess right now instead of leading the world in this literacy.
  • In modern society, said Dewey, people would be defined by their associations--not by their own individual accomplishments. It such a world people who read too well or too early are dangerous because they become privately empowered, they know too much, and know how to find out what they don't know by themselves, without consulting experts
  • Dewey said the great mistake of traditional pedagogy was to make reading and writing constitute the bulk of early schoolwork.

  • New York State, for instance, employs more school administrators than all of the European Economic Community nations combined.
  • rederich Froebel, the inventor of kindergarten in 19th century Germany, fashioned his idea he did not have a "garden for children" in mind, but a metaphor of teachers as gardeners and children as the vegetables.
  • Kindergarten was created to be a way to break the influence of mothers on their children.
  • Violence, narcotic addictions, divorce, alcoholism, loneliness...all these are but tangible measures of a poverty in education.

    Interesting. John Taylor Gotto on education and the value of less rather than more school. He mentions that the best programmers are self-taught.
