A Case for hybrid learning…
 According to the American Association of School Librarians
(AASL) (2007), “Today’s students need to develop
information skills that will enable them to use technology as
an important tool for learning, both now and in the future” (p.
2).
 Toch (2014) believes hybrid classrooms will provide students
with individualized learning, but also give them the support
they need from face-to-face schools.
 We are preparing kids for technologies that do not even exist
yet.
 Online learning can provide access to knowledge
distributors with the ability to access resources beyond our
scope.

AASL Standards connected to
online learning…
 1.1.8 Demonstrate mastery of technology tools for accessing
information and pursuing inquiry.
 2.1.4 Use technology and other information tools to analyze
and organize information
 3.1.2 Participate and collaborate as members of a social and
intellectual network of learners
 3.1.4 Use technology and other information tools to organize
and display knowledge and understanding in ways that
others can view, use, and assess
 3.1.6 Use information and technology ethically and
responsibly.

CCSS Standards…
 From the Common Core Standards:
 CCSS ELA-Introduction: “To be ready for college, workforce training,
and life in a technological society, students need the ability to
gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information
and ideas, to conduct original research in order to answer questions
or solve problems, and to analyze and create a high volume and
extensive range of print and nonprint texts in media forms old and
new.”
 CCSS ELA-Introduction: “The need to conduct research and to
produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of
today’s curriculum. In like fashion, research and media skills and
understandings are embedded throughout the Standards rather
than treated in a separate section.”
 CCSS ELA-Introduction: "Students need to be “self-directed
learners, effectively seeking out and using resources to assist them,
including teachers, peers, and print and digital reference
materials.”

5. +  (CCSS ELA-Introduction: "Students who are college and career ready
employ technology thoughtfully to enhance their reading, writing,
speaking, listening, and language use. They tailor their searches online
to acquire useful information efficiently, and they integrate what they
learn using technology with what they learn offline. They are familiar
with the strengths and limitations of various technological tools and
mediums and can select and use those best suited to their
communication goals.”
 CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.SL. 6: "New technologies have broadened
and expanded the role that speaking and listening play in acquiring
and sharing knowledge and have tightened their link to other forms of
communication. The Internet has accelerated the speed at which
connections between speaking, listening, reading, and writing can be
made, requiring that students be ready to use these modalities nearly
simultaneously. Technology itself is changing quickly, creating a new
urgency for students to be adaptable in response to change.”
 CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP5 :"When making mathematical models,
[students] know that technology can enable them to visualize the results
of varying assumptions, explore consequences, and compare
predictions with data. Mathematically proficient students at various
grade levels are able to identify relevant external mathematical
resources, such as digital content located on a website, and use them to
pose or solve problems. They are able to use technological tools to
explore and deepen their understanding of concepts.”

Guidelines for collaborative
learning…
 Guideline 1: Build learning community from the beginning of term until
end (Yuan & Kim, 2014, pp. 224-229).
 Guideline 2: Students and instructors both involved in building learning
community (Yuan & Kim, 2014, pp. 224-229).
 Guideline 3: Use synchronous and asynchronous technologies to create
a shared space for interaction (Yuan & Kim, 2014, pp. 224-229).
 Guideline 4.1: Employ various strategies to stimulate discussions (Yuan
& Kim, 2014, pp. 224-229).
 Guideline 4.2: Encourage both task-oriented and social conversations
(Yuan & Kim, 2014, pp. 224-229).
 Guideline 4.3: Assign students tasks that require collaboration (Yuan &
Kim, 2014, pp. 224-229).
