Blended Learning PD!
LISD Professional Development Center
For all teachers, teacher assistants, and administrators
Blended learning allows teachers to harness powerful online tools to support teaching and learning during and between face-to-face interactions. This series of workshops studies the foundations of blended learning over 4 separate sessions that focus on different topics using both face-to-face and self-paced online modes. Consistent themes revisited throughout the series include UDL/individualized learning, open educational resources, and developing lessons/units.
