Blended
learning means combining face-to-face and online instruction. Here, teachers
are equipped with significant resources to maximize planning and instructional
time as well as differentiate instruction to accommodate varying proficiency
levels while students assume greater ownership and responsibility for their own
language development as well as progress at the pace and level appropriate to
their needs. It allows students to work with teachers in school and have online
resources at home. Project Based Learning is a type of
blended classroom. Students work on projects at home, and in class. In class,
they can ask the teacher for help, and continue on the project at home, with
online materials for help. By having online materials available, students have
access to support when out of the classroom. Students access some material at
home and complete some work at home, while leaving more time during class to
get into deeper context with the teachers. The example of blended learning implementation
is in Mr. Rudi Hartono’s ICT class where he combines lecturing in the class and
the technology, providing materials for the students in his blog. In
conclusion, I think blended learning is very important and useful for teachers
to increased student engagement and academic success. Students can easily learn
more about the subject with the teacher’s guidance as well as about technology
which will be helpful for them. They will not only learn from teacher’s
explanation but they can improve their learning through online sources.
