This course is designed for the secondary teacher who is comfortable
posting assignments on the web, is interested in the concept of blended
instruction, but needs guidance or exposure to the online tools and
methods that exist, literally, at their fingertips. We will spend time
exploring current research and theories to answer the question: Why is
blended learning so powerful? Once we have established a solid
understanding of blended learning, we will shift our focus to practical
matters to answer the question: How do I create a great blended learning
experience for my students? Participants will connect and collaborate
with each other through a variety of online activities, averaging 2 - 4
hours a week, as we explore best practices and practical tools available
for blended learning instruction. By the end of this four week
experience, teachers will have concrete ideas about how to apply blended
learning methods to their own teaching. The course is taught
asynchronously, with assignments dues at regular intervals.
