Models of Blended Learning: What Works for Your District
Thursday, June 9, 2 p.m. EDT,
Also available "on demand" any time 24 hours after the event.
We know that districts are being held accountable for more, and being asked to do so with less funding. As a result, districts today are looking for new ways to effectively implement technology that can engage students and boost academic achievement.
Blended learning, the teaching practice that combines both face-to-face and online learning, offers several models of instruction to engage students in and out of the classroom. It has proven highly effective in helping schools and districts address the challenges of student achievement, limited resources, and the expectations of 21st-century learners. It is also the fastest growing component of online learning.
Join us for an in-depth discussion on blended learning led by two experienced practitioners, Pam Willingham and Dorothy Hirata. Hear about the many teaching and learning objectives they are meeting through the implementation of a blended learning program. Also learn how the two districts have grown the level of adoption by their faculty over time by championing accomplishments of the program. You will also hear from John Canuel, who will briefly talk about current online learning trends and how Blackboard can help you address several of your current academic challenges.
