Hey all, Derek from @sedck12 & @UCET here for #UTedChat! Excited to be talking blended learning & @CanvasLMS tonight!

let's focus on instructional practice, not necessarily the LMS, but I may offer ideas on how @canvaslms can support #utedchat

I’m happy to be here and I want to know - do you blend your instruction? Teach online? #utedchat

Hi, #UTedChat! Havilah from @alpineschools. Teach me about @CanvasLMS!

I'm not currently in a classroom, but I do teach some online courses with the #sedck12 #ETEP courses. #UTedChat

It looks like some people are wanting to discuss @CanvasLMS. Maybe I can come back soon to focus on the LMS. #utedchat

mindyhintze Oct 25 @ 11:09 PM EDT

Q1 Do you think Ss prefer online/blended learning? Why/why not? #utedchat

MsEhuber Oct 25 @ 11:09 PM EDT

@mindyhintze without! I love canvas! Oops! #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:09 PM EDT

You can teach just about anything in a blended format. And @CanvasLMS is a great tool, but the principles are the important part. #UTedChat

MsEhuber Oct 25 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1 I think my population (Low SES) enjoys in class learning more. My ss struggle with tech & get frustrated easily. #utedchat

A1: I think students like being able to go at their own pace & learn in their own space - blended/online learning allows them to. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:11 PM EDT

A1 I think Ss prefer well thought out courses wether online/blended/traditional or what not. The more planning the better. #UTedChat

mindyhintze Oct 25 @ 11:11 PM EDT

Did you know the number one reason students drop out of blended or online courses is because of frustration with technology? #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:12 PM EDT

A1.5 But I think it depends on the training as well. If Ss have never had the chance to see how blended works it's difficult. #UTedChat

covili - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:12 PM EDT

A1 My college Ss are fairly split. Most love the convenience of online, but still value the f-2-f connection of in-person. #UTedChat

chrferrin Oct 25 @ 11:12 PM EDT

A1 My ss like that they can go at their own pace at home, and get questions answered in class. #utedchat

LynetteYorgason Oct 25 @ 11:12 PM EDT

#utedchat A1 I have slowly moved over to a flipped classroom based on student feedback because they preferred it. So I think they do!

MsEhuber Oct 25 @ 11:13 PM EDT

Makes sense! I coached my mother through SO many computer "issues" while she was getting her bachelors degree. #UTedChat

In reply to @mindyhintze

_reidford Oct 25 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A1: No. they prefer https://t.co/05vNX7QX67 learning is more engaging because it’s facilitated using tools that are relevant.#utedchat

TCSDSupt Oct 25 @ 11:13 PM EDT

I’ve been wondering about blended/flipped leadership and blended techniques for administrators. May be another good topic? #UTedChat

EdTecHakk Oct 25 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A1: S’s prefer blended learning? Depends on the learner, the topic, tech and teachers’ proficiency with blending instruction. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:13 PM EDT

Thanks Dr. Rogers! Good to have you join #UTedChat tonight. Would love to hear some of the ways @TooeleSchools is using blended learning.

In reply to @TCSDSupt, @tooeleschools

mzeyhakk Oct 25 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A1: Depends on the Ss, but I think many prefer a blended environment where they can do some self-paced and still ask Qs in person. #utedchat

Please help us share the word to local educators who advocate for multicultural students! 4/4 #UTEdChat

ronaldfisher Oct 25 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A1 I think that blended learning is an attempt to control the environment, but it isn't reaching the different learners #UTedChat

Yes, it should. But students themselves have said they are not as tech savvy as teachers assume they are. #utedchat

Yeah, there are too many variables to Blended Learning to say Yes or No Ss prefer it. But if done well, BL can be VERY effective. #UTedChat

Q2 Do you think Ts prefer online/blended teaching? Why/why not? #utedchat

Craig from Springville joining a bit late. Excited to participate in #utedchat tonight and hear how everyone is doing #blendedlearning

mzeyhakk Oct 25 @ 11:21 PM EDT

A2: Again, depends on how comfortable the T is with the tech being used for blending. Also depends on if they were forced or not. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:21 PM EDT

Which is one reason why I really like @Flipgrid as a tool to facilitate in some pseudo F2F time when using blended learning. #UTedChat

In reply to @FarrBfarr, @covili, @Flipgrid

EdTecHakk Oct 25 @ 11:21 PM EDT

A2: Teachers prefer engaging learning and successful students, but fear change. Blended Learning = both! #utedchat

MsEhuber Oct 25 @ 11:21 PM EDT

A2: I like online/blended. Allows me to spend more time teaching and less time grading. #utedchat

covili - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:21 PM EDT

Amen! We need to work with Ss to effectively use tech tools. #UTedChat

In reply to @DaniKSloan, @mindyhintze, @ronaldfisher, @MsEhuber

ronaldfisher Oct 25 @ 11:22 PM EDT

A2 Type A personalities - (Most teachers) like to have control of the in and output BL accomplishes this by keeping it in a LMS #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Oct 25 @ 11:22 PM EDT

A2: I prefer teaching in a blended environment. I can provide more scaffolded resources for my Ss and answer questions in my PJs. #utedchat

mindyhintze Oct 25 @ 11:22 PM EDT

that's something I see around the world that is a barrier to Ts jumping into blended/online teaching - the front load is so big #utedchat

In reply to @downrightdave

ronaldfisher Oct 25 @ 11:23 PM EDT

Here, Here!!! Exactly! #UTedChat

MsEhuber Oct 25 @ 11:21 PM EDT

A2: I like online/blended. Allows me to spend more time teaching and less time grading. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:23 PM EDT

A2 I think if Ts receive enough support they can like blended learning, but w/o training, many hate it! Shows importance of PD. #UTedChat

mzeyhakk Oct 25 @ 11:23 PM EDT

Are you making videos in your PJs? If so I understand why your classes are so popular!! (kidding) :-) #utedchat

In reply to @DaniKSloan

EdTecHakk Oct 25 @ 11:23 PM EDT

There’s a difference between “tech savvy” and “tech fluent” - and students need to be fluent to learn in a tech environment. #utedchat

In reply to @covili, @DaniKSloan, @mindyhintze, @ronaldfisher, @MsEhuber

mindyhintze Oct 25 @ 11:23 PM EDT

The other thing I hear often is using an LMS and blending allows Ts to do more teaching #utedchat

Good tech allows good teachers to reach more students in more ways. Bad teaching with tech is just really expensive bad teaching. #utedchat

#utedchat a2 while I love online learning there is a big learning curve and a TON of work on the front end. It's daunting and I'm tech savvy

mzeyhakk Oct 25 @ 11:28 PM EDT

A3: When the tech can't keep up with what needs to happen in the land of school real-time Ts, Ss and parents get frustrated. #utedchat

EdTecHakk Oct 25 @ 11:28 PM EDT

A3 part 1: Biggest Challenge currently in Utah with blended learning is data. Specifically SIS/LMS integration. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:29 PM EDT

You mainly like it for the PJs aspect, which many people wear their PJs as clothes these days. #UTedChat

In reply to @DaniKSloan

DaniKSloan Oct 25 @ 11:29 PM EDT

A3: It is initially difficult to decide what to do online and what to do in class. I find having a discussion due b4 class is 👌🏽#utedchat

mindyhintze Oct 25 @ 11:29 PM EDT

so the front loading, lack of adequate PD, and tech illiterate students sound like universal challenges #utedchat

EdTecHakk Oct 25 @ 11:30 PM EDT

A3 part 2: How is it my TomTom watch can tell my phone my HR and steps all day but not all classroom tech plays well together? :-( #utedchat

ronaldfisher Oct 25 @ 11:30 PM EDT

A3 Time, It is best if you can lay it all out before you start, a syllabus all laid out you can lay out the semester or content #UTedChat

Data is a universal challenge too #utedchat

In reply to @EdTecHakk

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:30 PM EDT

A3: Funding. Network reliability. Ongoing PD. Wireless capacity. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:31 PM EDT

mindyhintze Oct 25 @ 11:32 PM EDT

Is classroom/behavior management an issue in blended/online? #utedchat

TCSDSupt Oct 25 @ 11:33 PM EDT

A3: I would also add Digital Citizenship and Data Privacy/Security as big challenges. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:33 PM EDT

Not only that, knowing how to use a device isn't the same thing as knowing how to use it for learning. Big difference between two. #UTedChat

Q4 What are some ways to get students engaged in the online content? #utedchat

HCraigPritchard Oct 25 @ 11:36 PM EDT

A3 Can take a lot of time/effort to plan, tech-based vs in-person? Options for differentiation, ability levels, etc #UTedChat

A3 I find the biggest challenge for me is providing quality content, in an engaging way for my Ss. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:37 PM EDT

If we can't help Ts to see the Why then we won't get the Ss to see it either b/c the Ts won't be using it. HAVE to start w/ Why! #UTedChat

A4 because it is BL in a LMS, use the extra time to get to know the students and design content to match meet the learning #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A3 Getting the platform/tool set-up is a HUGE challenge b/c it is so much work. Some Ts don't want to try b/c of all the work. #UTedChat

mzeyhakk Oct 25 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A4: Images, infographics, videos, memes, GIFs and all interactive fun things help! #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:39 PM EDT

A3 It's also getting some Ts to change what they've always done. It's okay to change what you're doing if it'll help you. #UTedChat

contactjak Oct 25 @ 11:39 PM EDT

A4: Teachers holding regular data chats with Ss is key to student engagement and ownership #utedchat

As an art teacher, everything was hands-on in the studio. The feedback and interaction couldn’t be replicated online. #UTedChat

Interesting, we have a lot of art teachers using @canvaslms and they say the feedback is easier in the online space #utedchat

The sooner we see #DigCit as a need for all classroom teachers to work with the better. We need to get passed the yearly assembly. #UTedChat

My favorite @canvaslms feature is SpeedGrader for instant online feedback. So much better than waiting until Monday for grades. #utedchat

Q5 What are some ways to build online community in the blended/online course? #utedchat

It can be the Ss online Portfolio also. #UTedChat

A4 Whenever you can allow for #StuChoice & #StuVoice you're gonna have engaged students. Try to find ways for choice. #UTedChat

mzeyhakk Oct 25 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A5: Discussions & low-stress, high success collaboration activities are a good way to start. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Oct 25 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A5 The ability to do online Collaboration increases with LMS - the Ss can share and give peer feedback safely #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Oct 25 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A5a: I feel like the teacher’s online space is an existention of their classroom. It should be different for each educator. #utedchat

A4 I always suggest making sure everyone has a pic set for their avatar. Helps personalize the course seeing faces. #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Oct 25 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A5b: It needs to be a safe learning environment and students should be taught about #digcit and how to give appropriate feedback. #utedchat

You can safely assume that most posts referencing Star Wars are him. #utedchat

You know, that's a huge part to having a successful blended learning experience. It's also difficult but needs to be a priority. #UTedChat

In reply to @mindyhintze

EdTecHakk Oct 25 @ 11:55 PM EDT

A6: Think Star Wars “Rule of Two”, but with online learning it’s “Rule of One” - one task at a time, one class at a time. #utedchat

DaniKSloan Oct 25 @ 11:56 PM EDT

A6: Start small with something that gets you excited about blended teaching and then build from there! Baby steps! #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Oct 25 @ 11:56 PM EDT

No, but you could still have Ss take pics of the art to submit the assignment and help keep things organized. That's the blended. #UTedChat
