Blended Learning Is the Most Fun

I like to use blended learning because I focus so much on using hyperdocs. This allows me to provide students with a thread to follow in their learning and accountabilities along the way. I can direct the students to work alone or in small groups. It also allows me to included extended learning opportunities for the students who finish early or are bored.

While the kids are working through the hyperdoc, I am walking around, observing their thinking and conversations, and giving real-time feedback.

Using blended learning with hyperdocs also makes all of the in-class learning materials available after the class has ended.
