Hybrid learning has been a popular topic in education for the past year and half. We have seen the rise in demand for hybrid learning as an option that combines the best of both online and traditional classroom learning. This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has affected learners around the world. This is not a temporary trend. The future of hybrid learning looks bright and the benefits are unmatched. I have seen it myself.
I’ve been an educator for 10+ years. I’ve taught in both in-person and online classrooms. I have seen the ups and downs of creating learning environments that allow my students to learn and be their best. Here are my top tips for success when I am asked by colleagues:
1. Create a positive learning environment and a strong learning community.
Every classroom should have a strong community. Although we cannot hug our students through a screen or high-five them, a hybrid classroom can foster a community of connected learners.
It is a great way to create a positive learning environment by highlighting the advantages of hybrid learning. Hybrid learning can bring many benefits to your students, parents and teachers. It allows for greater flexibility, accessibility, and allows you to use innovative learning tools. You can help your students get the most from hybrid learning by sharing these benefits with them.
