I feel
honoured to share my experience on trying out the ‘Blended Learning Model’ and
more precisely this innovative ‘instruction model.’ After attending the sessions,
I realized that the concepts taught ran parallel with what I am already
executing in class. Undoubtedly, I was able to bring some change in the
learning environment that is both challenging and conducive for my students.
While introducing various categories under this model, I succeeded in
personalizing the learning for my students and was able to provide the platform
of mastery based learning. As an educator, I am contented and possess a great
zeal of enthusiasm, after evaluating the process of learning.
Independent Learning Environment
I have introduced
various models and strategies in my class in the past, but this time after
introducing the personalized learning and mastery based approach, I was able to
enhance and ensure my students understanding about the topics and at the same
time could stress the various concepts taught in the unit. It is true; in
today’s education system, time becomes a variable whereas students’ learning is
constant.

Initially I
differentiated students’ learning with more than four workstations where it was
difficult for me as an educator to evaluate their performance. However, after
exploring and discovering the details about the same I switched over to only three
basic workstation a) small group instruction (b) collaborative work (c) self directed
online activities. With these categories, I was able to make sure students
understanding about the topic and cater to their individual academic goals.
Additionally, I feel we should give 10 minutes as a reflection time to the
students. This will help the teachers to ensure students conceptual
understanding and clarify their doubts if any.
Recently, I
have found that the structure of the classroom and the facilities/tools are
equally important. Therefore, in this context, I updated the class library, softwares,
my personal drive and other classroom displays to make the learning
environment interesting and informative for my students.
Making an
effective use of various categories under this model, educators entail a vital
shift in their role. They facilitate students in achieving their personal goals
that will help them enhance their academic performance and behaviour. Further, we
facilitators will be able to change students’ academic mindsets through various
learning strategies and assist them to improve their social skills too.
In order to enhance their individual learning skills, the experience of virtual class session remained a good exposure for my students. Indeed, after discovering the potential of blended learning, as an educator I am convinced that it plays a vital role in creating a cooperative and personalized learning environment.
