Below you can find a variety of links and videos about blended learning.  Blended learning is a new teaching method in which students are allowed to work in smaller groups with different instructional methods, this provides students more flexibility in deciding which learning method suits them best.  This also allows students to move at their individual pace instead of working at the average pace of the entire class.  By adopting this method teachers have more individualized attention for students struggling in a certain content area.  

With the incorporation of new digital devices in our district we encourage our teaching staff to start to experiment and practice with this modern teaching method that have been producing impressive test results in other districts.  If you run into any technical issues while trying to incorporate blended learning please do not hesitate to contact the technology office as we will do our best to find a solution for you. The blended learning method is expanding rapidly across the country and there are now hundreds of online resources available. 


Below are a collection of video resources that we have found helpful explaining the basics of blended learning and the impact that it is beginning to have in other school districts.
