A Blended Learning Recipe for a Digital Generation

The presentation details how an Australian secondary school adopted online learning and rethought traditional teaching and learning structures through the development of a year-long blended syllabus for Year 9 English students. Explore how they went about it, from planning to practice, and the resulting successful model that is now being scaled school-wide. A framework for developing and implementing blended learning that embeds new media literacies, Web 2.0 and 21st century teaching and learning principles will be presented. Online activities that were developed will be featured. Attendees will receive resources that outline the process for developing a blended learning model and strategies for supporting teachers new to blended learning. The presentation will suit educators who are relatively new to blended learning, interested in shifting teaching practices, and how to develop online approaches that promote learning that is independent, networked, differentiated, rigorous and introduces students and teachers to new learning experiences.
