The road to a blended classroom can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be! In this session, participants will learn about what blended learning is, and how, with a few simple tools, you can get your classroom communicating and collaborating with digital tools.
Rhode Island has become a champion of best practices regarding blended learning, and this session will provide you with an entry point that can be used throughout the year and beyond. Participants will get a chance to experience Padlet, TodaysMeet, and Answergarden for dynamic student feedback, organize their Google Drive for maximum efficiency, and be introduced to the GSuite of tools. Beginners - this one is designed for you!
