The Blended Learning or teaching and learning model integrated "Aretio García (2004) is a new name that translated into English would be "blended learning." Applies to refer to the possible inclusion of ICT in traditional teaching practice. Ie when integrating the interactivity of virtual education and development of skills required by students and teachers without putting aside the usual swap meet in the classroom.
Because "some of us raised as overcomes the defects and deficiencies that accumulates face teaching and others, as the solution to the stalemate, they say, is suffering the e-learning and remedial, also of the weaknesses inherent in the full virtual systems. " Aretio García (2004), Blended Learning, for some it is seen as a compromise between the virtual and face. That position should be reviewed as the model reaches beyond simple mixing and replication of successful teaching methodologies.
education strategies requires not only a good way to predict the expected range of each of the scenarios prepared, but also enriches the knowledge building process in a collaborative and dynamic. The Blended Learning on one hand incorporated within the teaching tools to convey certain information to students, and other offers options for organizing tasks and assess them, in addition, provides feedback, solving problems that arise and simplifies query material.
The teacher participates assuming various roles and dedicating their valuable time to design activities that encourage the development of the student. It is not "seeking intermediate points, or intersections between models and distance, but to integrate, harmonize, complement and combine the means, resources, technologies, methodologies, activities, strategies and techniques ... most appropriate to meet each specific need learning, trying to find the right balance. "
With its varied the Blended Learning appears as a perfect solution to improve the quality of education, its best quality for E-learning or distance education is the benefit of face to face, as shown by the model before semi, the virtual / face and of course in the traditional daily.
course presents some limitations that are not closely related to the model as such but to the environment or medium. This exclusion could even denote both teachers who are not trained in the use of ICT to students who do not have the facilities to acquire the equipment. The repercussions at a given moment would be reflected in the time of delivery of the mandatory activities, contributions, and exchanges with the group in general.
As for the public or users of this model is clear that it must be composed of autonomous, responsible, open to dialogue, to express in writing skills, and willing to work synchronously and asynchronously schedule. As an essential aspect is necessary to have regular Internet access to excellent speed.
With the variety of content in the service of students participating in the virtual environment facilitates the learning process, "However, a quick analysis of current reality reveals there are very few experiences that truly exceed traditional forms of learning used in distance learning, and only has a technological upgrade by use of the internet and some multimedia development. "Sant 'Angelo (2000) http:// www.rieoei.org/rie24a06.PDF
In conclusion, I believe that Blended Learning is not even designed to overcome this or that model, its direction is oriented more towards the supply of the various possibilities education with ICT integrated into the traditional pedagogical model applied those institutions and / or teachers after a thorough analysis and planning before deciding to turn around their days without fear of price in time and money it generates.
