Blended Learning Resources and Websites--Day 12

As we continue our BL implementation journey, it is very necessary to find trustworthy and reliable PD opportunities and resources for teachers on high quality blended learning. There are 2 sites that I came across that will give you great, reliable resources.

Both of these are free resources and they are very practical strategies for teachers to implement into their classrooms.

This is the intro to module number #3 on BL implementation. 

Welcome to BL-103: Teaching Each Student, a practice-based guide on how to start using data effectively to not only inform your instruction, but also start personalizing for your students needs. 

In a blended classroom, data can be overwhelming! While this module will not focus on an individual program, it will give you tools to start focusing your data analysis, which is a key skill that takes time and reflection. Data and planning works even more hand in hand in a blended classroom because of the real time data that is readily available as well as the plethera of data being obtained by various programs throughout the day, week, month, and year.This module will help you to start looking at data with an informed eye and then transfer that knowledge to your planning through focused groups, flexible long term planning, and even giving choice to students around pace and path. You will leave this course knowing why your blended practice should be grounded in instructional challenges and students needs and how technology can be leveraged to address those challenges and teach your students better!

If you have additional resources to share please let us know! Keep blending on!
