Some think "blended" means teaching specifically synchronously online (e.g. on Zoom) while others think it means incorporating technology into the classroom with everyone there. It feels like this is another education term that is often thrown around without the specificity and understanding to truly be incorporated.

There were many time when we reached out to the district and were put off or were "blown off" because the problem didn't make sense or was not a priority for the district.  It has been incredibly frustrating to reach out and not be helped.  It was also very difficult to get real time, applicable help.  There were times where district tech was timely in their response and help, but as a teacher in the active classroom it was so frustrating to have to rely on an unknown person in a different building who doesn't necessarily understand the importance of timeliness in resolving the issues.  e.g. students not being able to access new assignments on Canvas or canvas not talking to Powerschool

The district MUST implement new procedures and policies for students and taking care of their chromebooks. Each student MUST be given a durable chromebook case to protect it, and we need to have very specific care “rules” that we practice with the students at the beginning of the year and reinforce throughout the year. The amount of $ that the district is spending to fix chromebooks that shouldn’t have been damaged in the first place is astounding. Invest in cases! Develop a system for tracking damages and then hold students/parents accountable. (Obviously some students won’t be able to afford to pay for damages and those should be dealt with case-by-case basis.)

Additionally, every teacher should be given at least one charger per type of chromebook (for example, at our school we have two types of chargers needed, so each teacher should get two). It is an absolute daily hassle for students to scramble to find a charger. I purchased two chargers with the money given to me by the district, which I shouldn’t have had to do.

Thank you for your time and consideration! Truly, we love being 1:1, there just is a lot of room for improvement.

We were pushed online and rose to the occasion and figured out how to run an online class.  Now we have the option to use the best parts of online and go back to the best parts of in person learning.  I am still adjusting and figuring out the balance that works best for my class, but I didn't have many of the tech options available to me before the pandemic so I am finding the tech helpful now and blending the learning is good.

We need training that actually is proven to work. We were trained and taught how to create a "home page" with buttons and links that the students really don't use (they all go to modules and scroll around from there looking for assignments). Students need a better way to manage the "To Do" list which is unmanageable on the student end.  Their list is so long they ignore it.  The only way to give some students a heads up about what is due is to give them a 0.

Blended learning is here to stay and I’m all for it! Our students now have access to a world of materials that they didn’t before. Even something as simple as playing a game required SO much prep for the teacher, whereas now they can play a review game like Blooket while having tons of fun and actually engaging and I didn’t have to do hours of prep on paper!
