The Lab Rotation model has students moving from classrooms with traditional
learning modalities, to a computer lab
specifically designed to support online learning.
We likely
see something similar to this happening in many middle and high
schools, as students rotate into computer labs to learn about software applications.
However, expanding these opportunities to include online
learning makes it a blended learning experience.
The third sub-model is one that has a catchy name, the Flipped Classroom.
[SOUND] This model is credited to Mr. Bergman and Mr. Sams at Woodland
Park High School, who were recording class
lectures for absent students, and posting them online.
These teachers found that all students could
benefit from accessing class lectures at their own
pace from home, and spend precious limited class
time getting questions answered and working on projects.
The Clatyon Chritiansen Institute expands on this definition
to state that students rotate between teacher-guided practice
on campus, during the school day, and online delivery of content
and instruction at a remote location, like their home, after school.
The last sub-model of rotation includes Individual Rotation.
In this sub-model, students rotate on a custom or individualized schedule
among learning modalities, at least one of which is online learning.
