My Take-Aways

After finishing up this class about online/blended learning, I find myself wanting to share the information with my adminstration. I think that there is a lot of anxiety surrounding a move to online/blended learning. Many teachers are afraid their jobs will be in jeopardy. I want people to know that online/blended learning doesn't mean students stop interacting with eachother and their educators. I would also like to share with my fellow teachers the different levels of using technology in the classroom. It really stuck with me, how many teachers simply replace an activity in the classroom with an identical activity on a computer. That isn't really using technology or preparing students for a world of technology. Many teachers feel that if they do this, they have done what they are being asked to do, when it comes to using technology. Students see that it is simply replacement activity.
