A Balanced Blend Our workload as teachers can be overwhelming, but blended learning (a mix of digital and offline learning activities) can help you leverage technology to streamline your workload and free yourself up to do more of what teachers love best: helping students. In this workshop, you'll learn how to strategically blend instruction to give you more time to provide meaningful feedback and support and give students more ownership of their own learning. You don't need to have a computer lab to make this model work. This model can be adapted to make use of whatever technology you have available to you in your classroom. Intermediate, Secondary |
