It is rapidly gaining traction on a global scale because of its impact on student engagement but limited training opportunities can make it challenging for teachers to learn and implement it. This interactive course offers an introduction to the blended learning approach and uses blended learning strategies to share both instructional philosophy and resources. Participants will understand how individualized differentiation and project-based learning can engage students and impact learning.
