What is “Blended Learning”?
Blended learning is a formal educa1on in which a student learns… § at least in part through online learning § with some element of student control over 1me, place, path, and/or pace
§ at least in part in a supervised brick-‐and-‐mortar loca1on away from home
§ modali1es along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated experience

What is a “Flipped Classroom”?
A flipped classroom is a course or subject in which students participate in online learning of new material in place of traditional homework, and then attend a brick-or-mortal school for face-to-face, teacher-guided practice or projects, with an emphasis on engaging in student-centered activities.

One Force behind the Concept of Flipped Classroom
In May of 2011, Bill Gates visited Steve Jobs at his Palo Alto home.
“Jobs asked some questions about education, and Gates sketched out his vision of what schools in the future would be like, with students watching lectures and video lessons on their own while using classroom time for discussions and problem solving.”
- Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, p. 553

Flipped Classrooms, a metaphor...
![Page 7: 2015 NCLC - Blended Learning and Flipped Instruction in K–12 Chinese Instruction](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022020208/55aaaf421a28ab5a7a8b487c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Pros for Flipped Classrooms
§ Students can do basic learning at their own pace.
§ Students who need more help can get it during class pair/group work.
§ Allows opportunities for students who are absent to not get disconnected. Students can always review flipped material as needed.
§ Students won’t “get stuck” doing traditional homework at home. They will be doing the equivalent of “homework” in class, with the teacher available to help as needed.
![Page 8: 2015 NCLC - Blended Learning and Flipped Instruction in K–12 Chinese Instruction](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022020208/55aaaf421a28ab5a7a8b487c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pros for Flipped Classrooms
§ Kids come with better questions when they come for extra help, rather than just saying “I don’t understand.”
§ Easier to track who is more prepared and who is not. Kids DO have the motivation not to appear like fools and are more likely to come prepared.
§ Didn’t expect that kids think that we care about their learning – students actually say that since we spend so much time compiling these resources.
![Page 9: 2015 NCLC - Blended Learning and Flipped Instruction in K–12 Chinese Instruction](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022020208/55aaaf421a28ab5a7a8b487c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Challenges of Flipped Classrooms § Making videos is time consuming, and
teachers have to fight against perfectionist qualities to complete videos when one is getting started.
§ Teachers making this leap into flipping the classroom should anticipate how much time and effort it takes to “bump up our game” in this way.
![Page 10: 2015 NCLC - Blended Learning and Flipped Instruction in K–12 Chinese Instruction](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022020208/55aaaf421a28ab5a7a8b487c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Challenges of Flipped Classrooms
§ Making sure that students master their learning can sometimes be challenging.
§ Some students may need more scaffolding in class and extra help out of class.
§ Going deeper into topics won’t work if students haven’t mastered the basics.
§ Some students don’t watch with as much intention, and don’t necessarily get as much out of the videos as those who really focus on the content.
![Page 11: 2015 NCLC - Blended Learning and Flipped Instruction in K–12 Chinese Instruction](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022020208/55aaaf421a28ab5a7a8b487c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Important Components of Flipped Lessons
§ Imperative to have a short check-up to keep students accountable, i.e., short quizzes, check-ups or other formative assessment.
§ It is useful to manage flipped units via an LMS (Learning Management System).

Benefits of a Blended Approach § More opportuni1es for input, review and remedia1on.
§ Students are required to produce more output in Chinese
§ Students can use laptops/iPads for useful prac1ce
• Students prac1ce to become how to become beIer Digital Ci1zens

Benefits of a Blended Approach § Research has shown students with differing learning styles can benefit from a variety of approaches, and student can pace how much, when and how oNen they take in, though these benefits actually are are difficult to measure.
§ Parents can have some sense of what their children are working on in Chinese.

Blended Learning Transforming Classroom Work
§ The more that students can engage with material at home via online modules, the more teachers can design student-‐centered task-‐based learning in the classroom.
§ Online learning does not subs1tute for classroom teaching, but allows it to be REDEFINED and MODIFIED in ways that can be quite transforma1onal
§ SAMR Model

Heather Clydesdale, Asia Society Chinese Language Matters “Simple Machine” (“Flipping the Classroom Propels Learning” Part 1 of 2) http://asiasociety.org/china-learning-initiatives/simple-machine “Flipped Learning in Motion” (“Flipping the Classroom Propels Learning” Part 2 of 2) http://asiasociety.org/china-learning-initiatives/flipped-learning-motion The above two articles quote extensively from Chinese teachers who have flipped their classes, and serve as good food for thought for working toward creating a flipped Chinese lesson. Dean N. Shimamoto, University of Hawaii “The Flipped Classroom: Traditional Education Turned Upside-Down” http://www.kokuamai.com/test/flipped/ This is a project of a former University of Hawaii graduate student, and is an excellent resource to begin planning for flipping a class.
