Here\u2019s everything you need to know.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Hybrid Learning?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hybrid learning is an approach to learning that simultaneously combines online and in-person\u00a0teaching\u00a0to create the ideal learning experience.\u00a0An instructor using a this kind of model delivers\u00a0live lessons\u00a0in a classroom and to students studying remotely\u00a0at the same time.\u00a0Along with its synchronous (live)\u00a0lessons, hybrid learning\u00a0may\u00a0also include asynchronous\u00a0(non-live)\u00a0online learning tool and methods\u00a0like pre-recorded video instruction and online assignments to support in-person classroom initiatives.\u00a0A hybrid learning model may include but is not limited to:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Video conferencing&nbsp;<\/li><li>Online assignments and tests&nbsp;<\/li><li>Online exercises&nbsp;<\/li><li>Online discussion forums&nbsp;<\/li><li>Pre-recorded video instruction&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>COVID-19 and Hybrid Learning<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/fXGgoieVEbYuxyRDVVfw0s_sAkg7sb3tjC4GAp4liEEK_QnPK7C7HNtMWqezPH5orMq6acDIMC6cIX5znw4VtRM3JK29kHKV434WLslRWSqnbyXOnuMt2lVhlY4NXJSF7Xoovpej\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last twenty years we\u2019ve seen a\u00a0gradual shift of\u00a0teaching\u00a0to online spaces.\u00a0In recent years classrooms have adopted a\u00a0\u2018blended learning\u2019\u00a0model that\u00a0requires in-person attendance\u00a0and\u00a0employs asynchronous tools.\u00a0Now, however, the onset of Covid-19 and the worldwide disturbance it has brought to our lives, especially to the education sector, has prompted schools to\u00a0head online at warp speed. Currently, hybrid learning\u00a0has become a\u00a0core\u00a0strategy for many\u00a0educational (and non-educational)\u00a0institutions that wish to reopen.\u00a0Educators can use a this strategy to\u00a0engage students\u00a0and\u00a0rotate\u00a0them\u00a0in and out of the classroom\u00a0so that they may take turns attending\u00a0classes\u00a0in person and online.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Benefits of Hybrid Lessons<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While\u00a0the\u00a0traditional and online\u00a0education models\u00a0both\u00a0have\u00a0their\u00a0drawbacks, hybrid learning\u00a0seems to have found a happy medium between the two models.\u00a0One of\u00a0its benefits is\u00a0that it has\u00a0increased\u00a0educational\u00a0access for\u00a0students. In the past,\u00a0in-person\u00a0teaching required all students to be within traveling distance throughout the duration of their course to\u00a0receive an education. However, with hybrid learning, this is not necessarily the case \u2013 students may\u00a0have\u00a0access to learning\u00a0from remote locations, which\u00a0can attract students from a wider range of locations, increasing student turnout.\u00a0Additionally, hybrid learning encourages both educators and students to\u00a0prioritize classroom time and take\u00a0advantage of a wide variety of\u00a0teaching resources.\u00a0By reducing class sizes\u00a0a hybrid learning experience can provide students with valuable\u00a0face-to-face contact time. Moreover,\u00a0this way of learning encourages the adoption of EdTech, which\u00a0can boost interactivity,\u00a0act as supplemental material\u00a0to pre-existing curricula\u00a0and reinforce\u00a0lesson plans more deeply in\u00a0students.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Support\u00a0Your Child\u2019s\u00a0Hybrid\u00a0Education\u00a0with Twin STEM Kits<\/strong> &amp; Twin App\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2.-blog-banners-1400x788.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30037\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The age of\u00a0EdTech platforms\u00a0is now.\u00a0With Covid-19 it\u00a0is important now more than ever to ensure that a child gets everything they can out of their education.\u00a0Learning and finding ways to conceptualize materials presented in class in an engaging and fun\u00a0way\u00a0is\u00a0key to\u00a0a child\u2019s progress in their educational and personal life.\u00a0This\u00a0fact\u00a0has only become more relevant as students are being asked to conceptualize\u00a0lessons without the structure of a\u00a0traditional\u00a0classroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twin\u00a0presents\u00a0children and educators\u00a0a new way to embrace play time through STEM toys and our educational <a href=\"https:\/\/app.adjust.com\/eyjjoy6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twin app<\/a>, which can be easily integrated with pre-existing lesson plans.\u00a0Our\u00a0team has developed STEM Kits\u00a0that teach children about\u00a0robotics, science, and technology like never before.\u00a0Twin\u00a0empowers children to leverage the resources at their disposal to enhance their hybrid learning with\u00a0playful, individual, and wholesome\u00a0educational experience.\u00a0Children are\u00a0encouraged\u00a0to design, build and code with\u00a0easy and safe to use electronic modules\u00a0to create an infinite number of projects.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.twinscience.com\/en-gb\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy a STEM Kit today!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Twin and Hybrid Learning After Covid-19<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Will online learning\u00a0become a mainstay\u00a0in\u00a0schools\u00a0even after\u00a0COVID-19 is eradicated?
