The capacity to routinely customize products and services to meet the specific needs and/or desires of individuals without

adding significantly to the cost of the product or service.

Mass Customization

Blended learning is any time a student learns at least in part at a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from

home and at least in part through online delivery with some element of

student control over time, place, path, and/or pace.

Blended Learning

Six Models of Blended Learning

1. Face-to-Face Driver (F2F w/ dash of online)

2. Rotation (Rocketship, Carpe Diem, School of One)

3. Flex (Online with a dash of F2F tutoring)

4. Online Lab (All online part of the day - at school)

5. Self-Blend (Learning Power)

6. Online Driver (All online – remotely)

Practice

School of One learns about the specific academic needs of every student and then accesses a large bank of carefully reviewed educational resources,

using sophisticated technology to find the best matches among students, teachers, and resources.

School of One’s learning algorithm helps to ensure each student is learning in his or her educational

“sweet spot.” As it collects data, it learns more about the students and becomes more effective at predicting

the playlist that will be most effective for each.

In elementary school, John Perez was left in the dust if he hadn't mastered a concept by the teacher's

second or third explanation. The whole class would move onto something else.

Now in sixth grade at Middle School 88 in Brooklyn, John doesn't feel that way any longer. A computer algorithm tracks his progress through daily quizzes and adjusts his schedule based on which skills he's

mastered. Each day, he is grouped with students learning at his skill level.

“You're always learning at your own pace," said John,11 years old. "You're never behind."

While the daily quizzes can set off alarms for adults who think standardized tests play too big a role in children's lives, students said it was no big deal.

Aaron Morales, 11, said he appreciated the practice: He would be better prepared for those all-important

state tests in the spring.

"When you get to the math state tests, you'll know how to do it," he said. "And you'll pass."

How Does Carpe Diem Work?

It works by flipping education around, allowing technology and teachers to do what they do

best. Technology can provide basic and engaging core concept information while

teachers can provide strategic data-driven remediation or extended learning and critical

thinking opportunities. This creates a new learning ecosystem, creating flexible time and space for students and staff to learn and teach

at their own pace. Rick Ogsten, Carpe Diem Founder

LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSA Learning Management System (or LMS) is a software package, usually on a large scale, that enables the management and delivery

of learning content and resources to students.

It is the framework that handles all aspects of the learning process.

Learning Management Systems

Examples Blackboard BrainHoney Canvas Educate Moodle OdysseyWear Schooltown Edmodo

Purposes Centralize and

automate administration

Assemble and deliver learning content rapidly

Support portability and standards

Personalize content

Mastery?Students have mastered content when

they demonstrate a thorough understanding as evidenced by doing

something substantive with the content beyond merely echoing it. Anyone can

repeat information. It is the masterful student who can break content into its

component pieces, explain it, and use it purposefully in new situations.

2. Students will understand the emergence and development of world civilizations and cultures over time and place.

3. Students will understand the interrelationships of people, places, and the environment.

4. Students will understand the historical development and contemporary role of governmental power and authority.

5. Students will understand the impact of economics on the development of societies and on current and emerging national and international situations.

Students will understand the interrelationships of people, places, and the environment.

Fifth Grade Geography

1. Apply longitude and latitude to find absolute locations on a map and globe.

2. Describe how climate and geography influenced the way of life of Native American tribes and the movement and activities of settlers.

3. Explain explorers’ discoveries in the New World.

How is this best learned?

We need to rethink schools so that learning in them relies more on individual customized

learning plans and less on teaching drawn from a standardized curriculum for all.
