* To be totally honest, being a Physical education teacher, I am very new to the online learning. Although I feel my subject is a bit different than the core subjects I still feel that I can add add and blend more technology in PE. I have began to test my students through google classroom, we use heart rate monitors, video screen fitness circuits.  I believe that being open to new ideas and not to be scared to learn will not only benefit the students but the teacher the same.

Finally,Effective communication between the teacher and students needs to be established to achieve improved learning outcomes in a blended learning program. I also feel that a well trained teacher is a vital key to ensure the success of all students.  Effective blended-learning professional training must include instructional approaches that are based on understanding student perspectives.  ]]> 2018-09-18 18:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lupac12/n09f5y32zmei/wish/283112301 lupac12 https://padlet.com/lupac12/n09f5y32zmei/wish/283118404 There can be no denying the fact that online learning is here to stay. The importance of blended classrooms in this context becomes clear. In a hyper-connected world, both physical and virtual learning spaces matter. Educators must catch up with this trend and help students succeed through an effective blended learning approach.  The data doesn't lie, Blended Learning is the direction that education is heading. Just the cost efficiency alone will be the driving force to make it mainstream. ]]> 2018-09-18 19:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lupac12/n09f5y32zmei/wish/283118404
