without a heaping dose of F2F time plus real-time communication, online learning would become a desolate road for the educational system to travel.
-
In education, the components of online and F2F are stronger together than apart.
-
I discovered that if you want to create a class experience online, you need to purchase something like Wimba/Elluminate that allows you to create a collaborative space online for students to meet with teachers. With programs like it, you can go over a Powerpoint, share a screen, break the kids out into discussion groups, answer hands that are virtually raised, and experience material together.
-
Both synchronous communication and F2F interaction are vital to support the success of online learning.
-
1. Your first class should always be Face-to-Face (or at least Real-Time) if possible.
-
2. Assessments should be real-time and the choice of F2F or online should be made available.
-
3. There must be multiple times throughout the class that are synchronously conducted.
-
4. Differentiate your Content Delivery and Discussion Methods.
-
Online Learning is not differentiated unless teachers specifically utilize the various ways to provide the material.
-
5. Keep the Class Size Limited.

There's this myth in the brick and mortar schools that somehow the onset of online K-12 learning will be the death of face-to-face (F2F) interaction
-
In education, the components of online and F2F are stronger together than apart.
-
It's not a question of if; it's a question of how.
-
it has the potential to be far greater than any model we have thus far imagined, but only if the tools are used properly and if the balance of offline interaction and online learning are aligned.
-
I discovered that any synchronous method of meeting with my students was a part of an additionally priced plug-in
-
One of the vendors responded that it wasn't necessary in order to deliver the content to the students, that in fact student success in an online environment wasn't hinged on a relationship with a teacher.
-
purchase something like Wimba/Elluminate (1) that allows you to create a collaborative space online for students to meet with teachers
-
But if you want that real-time experience, you need to purchase additional programs in order to benefit from the grown-ups in the community.
-
1. Your first class should always be Face-to-Face (or at least Real-Time) if possible.
-
f this can't happen in an actual classroom, then perhaps this can happen via virtual conferencing technology or Skype. Regardless of the program, there needs to be voices and faces.
-
2. Assessments should be real-time and the choice of F2F or online should be made available.
-
3. There must be multiple times throughout the class that are synchronously conducted.
-
This is one of the methods in which adults can model a standard of online conversation. It is also about accountability a vital way to help build community.
-
4. Differentiate your Content Delivery and Discussion Methods.
-
Classes online are not inherently differentiated if there's only one method of content delivery.

create your own Second Life (3) island to meet for virtual lessons, or learn more about Adobe Connect Pro or any number of virtual meeting programs in order to provide for all the learners in the community.

Nicholas QuattroneIn order to be successful, there needs to be face to face interactions when using the blended learning system of teaching. I agree with this notion. There needs to be some kind of voice/face connection between the orchestrators of the class and the students. The reason I agree with this so deeply is because I believe that students that aren't seeing their teachers on a regular basis will forget that they actually exist. They need to know that someone (not a computer program) is evaluating their work and that they are working to impress that someone for their grades. Even if it's not possible to physically be with a teacher in a classroom, programs like Skype and FaceTime can make the interactions as close they can get.

"There's this myth in the brick and mortar schools that somehow the onset of online K-12 learning will be the death of face-to-face (F2F) interaction. However this isn't so -- or at least in the interest of the future of rigor in education, it shouldn't be. In fact, without a heaping dose of F2F time plus real-time communication, online learning would become a desolate road for the educational system to travel.
The fact is that there is a purpose in protecting a level of F2F and real-time interaction even in an online program. In education, the components of online and F2F are stronger together than apart. The power is in a Blended Learning equation:

Keep the Class Size Limited. Don't let online learning supporters who do not understand educational quality deceive our K-12 schools into thinking that class sizes can be larger in a distance learning environment and quality won't be affected. Feedback takes time under any circumstances, and that means protecting our students and our class sizes. Take a tip from some of the pioneer districts currently running successful distance learning programs like the one in Riverside, California; there is no escaping the fact that the more students per teacher, the less individualization per student.

5 Components Needed for a Blended Learning Model
Both synchronous communication and F2F interaction are vital to support the success of online learning. To help explain ways to blend both these education models, I've provided a list of at least four necessary components to include in a blended learning environment:
1. Your first class should always be Face-to-Face (or at least Real-Time) if possible. Look, when faced with an online contract, we've all scrolled down to the bottom and clicked "I Agree" just to skip reading the thing. Having an initial F2F introduction class helps to set the expectations of the class and put a face to your teacher and classmates. Having offline faces increases online accountability.
If this can't happen in an actual classroom, then perhaps this can happen via virtual conferencing technology or Skype. Regardless of the program, there needs to be voices and faces.
2. Assessments should be real-time and the choice of F2F or online should be made available. For those big assessments, there should be an actual location for local students to attend. For those further away, there needs to be a time period, a window in which to take the test.
Contact a local school district to utilize a computer lab. Contact your local library to reserve their computers during a specific time. Make a location for students to gather to take the assessment.
3. There must be multiple times throughout the class that are synchronously conducted. Sure there are many conversations happening asynchronously, threads going on, assignments analyzed, and feedback given at wacky hours of the day and night, but there also must be "class times" where students are sent a link and must attend the real-time conversation between classmates and teacher. This is one of the methods in which adults can model a standard of online conversation. It is also about accountability a vital way to help build community.
4. Differentiate your Content Delivery and Discussion Methods. Online Learning is not differentiated unless teachers specifically utilize the various ways to provide the material. Sure, watching a Powerpoint on one's own time might work for some, but for other online learners, they need real-time Q & A. Classes online are not inherently differentiated if there's only one method of content delivery. Go check out a free chat room for three people here (2). You can also create your own Second Life (3) island to meet for virtual lessons, or learn more about Adobe Connect Pro or any number of virtual meeting programs in order to provide for all the learners in the community.
5. Keep the Class Size Limited. Don't let online learning supporters who do not understand educational quality deceive our K-12 schools into thinking that class sizes can be larger in a distance learning environment and quality won't be affected. Feedback takes time under any circumstances, and that means protecting our students and our class sizes. Take a tip from some of the pioneer districts currently running successful distance learning programs like the one in Riverside, California; there is no escaping the fact that the more students per teacher, the less individualization per student.
Online learning is here and we teachers as experts in education must embrace it. We are a necessary component in its success, but only if we use our knowledge and voices to become a variable in the equation of blended learning.

An interesting blog post on the need for teacher-student interactions in the world of online learning. But I would hasten to add that it doesn't have to be f2f or blended -- it could be in a video conferenced setting as well. -
