Trends in Ed Tech: Blended Learning

Guided Presentation on Blended Learning

Blended Learning is a hot topic in educational technology and in special education circles, so I chose to take an opportunity presented to me (ok, it was an assignment) in one of my courses at Dominican to learn more about it.  I took what I found, thought about what it meant, and created this narrated presentation.  It is a great starting point for anyone who may have heard the term before and not known what it was or who just wants to learn a little more about it.

Included here are links out to the pages I used as resources for the above presentation.  If you are hungry for more Blended Learning information, these are good resources to move on to.
