Presenting Blended

In the field of education we are sometimes unable to answer every question that comes our way. In doing research for this course and in preparation for the literature review I have found that accepting this is for my greatest good. It is okay to need help and to seek nontraditional methods of teaching as a way to catapult our students into greatness. I personally do not want to have a group of test takers and unproductive contributors to the world. I would much rather empower creativity, ownership, a courageous voice, and authenticity over anything else.

This presentation shows a snap shot of what blended learning has done for me, ways I can improve, and apply what the research has unraveled for me as an educator. I chose a simplistic approach as apposed to my normal because my team of ELAR teachers often tell me that I do not remediate enough where they understand without asking questions. This was important to me because they are my base of buy-in and also my support. Being able to identify areas of growth makes me stronger and pushes my resolve to create the best environment I can for my students. After all, my students are my why. They are my future and carry my hope for the future of education.
