I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the student will be able to;
a. differentiate the Synchronous and Asynchronous learning; and
b. develop a greater appreciation for how synchronous and asynchronous learning
can enhance learning and engagement.
II. Activity: Mirror
Players pair up and face each other. One player is the “leader” and the other is the
“follower.” The leader begins to move without speaking, and the follower mirrors their
movements. After a few minutes, players switch roles.
III. Lesson: SYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS
Synchronous learning refers to instructors and students gathering at the same time
and (virtual or physical) place and interacting in “real-time” using Google Meet, Zoom
and other any online application that possible for online meeting.
Asynchronous learning refers to students accessing materials at their own pace and
interacting with each other over longer periods.

Blended Learning
Blended learning is a term used to describe the process of combining online learning
tools along with traditional classroom instruction. It’s also sometimes called hybrid
learning.
Kinds of Blended Learning
1. Model 1: Face-to-Face Driver
In the face-to-face model, the teacher delivers the curricula most of the time and
utilizes online learning at certain times with the purpose to augment or provide an
alternative experience. Instruction is provided in a computer laboratory or
assigned tasks are uploaded online.
2. Model 2: Rotation
In a particular course or subject, students rotate on a fixed schedule between
learning online in a one-to-one, self-paced learning environment and being inside
the classroom with a face-to-face teacher. This is the model that is in between
the traditional face-to-face learning and online learning.
3. Model 3: Flex
This model uses an online platform that delivers most of the course. Support to
learning is provided as needed through on-site support or by an online tutor who
facilitates the tutorial or small group sessions. Sessions can be arranged into
synchronous or asynchronous. Course participants may work on their tasks at
any convenient time as long as it is within the confines of the course duration.
4. Model 4: Online Lab
The online-lab model uses an online platform in delivering the course but located
in a physical classroom or computer laboratory. Since the lessons are in modular
format and available in the online program, teacher assistants supervise these
classes. However, they may not provide the needed expertise if learners seek
assistance. Furthermore, students who are enrolled in an Online Lab model of
blended learning may be enrolled in a traditional classroom courses at the same
time and therefore have block schedules.
5. Model 5: Self-Blend
The self-blend Model is a system provided by the school where the students can
choose the courses they would like to have in addition to their typical brick-and-
mortar classroom classes. This model is always remote – a major difference from
the Online Lab.
6. Model 6: Online Driver

The online-driver model utilizes a platform and a teacher that delivers curricula.
Students remotely work on their program most of the time. If ever there is a
face to face components, it is made optional or if ever it is required for the
students to go to the physical learning environment such as in school, then it can
be extracurricular activities augmenting the curriculum
IV. Activity: Clap, Boom, Pen
Follow what the teacher say, You need to coordinate your hands and body to perform
the actions correctly.
