Blended Learning and Technology Integration: What’s the Difference?
This training will be a little different. It will be self-paced and self-directed. Learning checkpoints will be given at the end of each section and requires you to pass each level before you can progress to the next. You will receive a badge for each level you pass. I will deliver these to you via email on the following day of your training completion!

Finally, please add a comment describing your experience with this online training approach. What did you like? What did you not like? How would have made it better? What else would you have enjoyed learning? Does this approach work for you? Would it work for our students? Why or why?
I enjoyed this training and its format! I loved that in was individualized yet allowed the opportunity for collaboration. I would like more training about areas that are perhaps less familiar to me. I believe this would work very well for my students as they are accustomed to being self-motivated. Additionally, I know that they would love the opportunity to collaborate with one another more.
A good refresher to keep up on the topic. It is very easy to get sidetracked in our daily routines and not look at ways to improve how we are teaching and students are learning. These type of activities remind me there are many new and innovative ways to improve student learning and achievement.
