What was your experience with the sudden switch to remote learning when the pandemic hit? Did it feel like unchartered territory or familiar ground? Many teachers were caught off guard and unsure of how to navigate this new educational landscape in which technology was so essential to daily practice.
Today we are joined by bestselling author Dr. Catlin R. Tucker. In our conversation, she draws from both her classroom experience and her research on education technology to inspire us to think differently and be intentional with how we use technology to connect learners and give them more control over their learning experiences.
“It’s exciting to think that we get to decide what technology looks like in the classroom,” Tucker says. “What I see is an opportunity to give teachers a mindset, skill set, and toolset that is flexible to use in a physical classroom, online, or in a hybrid setting.”
Tune in to:
● Explore the impact online learning has made on both teachers and students
● What makes her new book The Complete Guide to Blended Learning such a great resource for designing effective learning experiences
● Learn why teachers will never have to be afraid of technology replacing them in the classroom
● Discover fresh insights on using SEL skills to build community
● Gain sound strategies for teachers and leaders to implement blended learning in schools and districts
