As a teacher I know I must keep up with my student’s own skills and knowledge of technology. The following website helped me put online learning in to perspective: Keeping Pace with Online and Blended Learning: A Guide to Policy and Practice 2012

With all of this technology available, I decided I needed more knowledge of how to put it to good use where my students are concerned. ]]> 2016-06-25 14:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/karenfreese1956/9ys2n7mz9fgb/wish/115427529 Success karenfreese1956 https://padlet.com/karenfreese1956/9ys2n7mz9fgb/wish/115427550 Knowing it isn’t the numbers of computers that make a blended classroom successful but the teacher
Being ok with movement in the classroom
Making sure students and parents understand how blended learning helps in education
Students understand they are taking more control of their educational goals
Make sure all students know they can ask questions about their learning either online or face to face

With a little bit change and forethought many classrooms can become blended.]]> 2016-06-25 14:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/karenfreese1956/9ys2n7mz9fgb/wish/115427749 Reflection karenfreese1956 https://padlet.com/karenfreese1956/9ys2n7mz9fgb/wish/115428080 Blended/Online Learning is the way of the future of education. If we as educators do not move forward we are doing a disservice to our students. This class and the insights from fellow educators has helped me to understand how to use this form of education to help all our students. Having to use websites I never used, moved me out of my comfort zone and is helping to make me a better teacher. This is why I will take more classes on this subject and refer my peers to these classes. ]]> 2016-06-25 14:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/karenfreese1956/9ys2n7mz9fgb/wish/115428080
