The Perfect Blend: A Practical Guide to Designing Student-Centered Learning Experiences

Many blended learning initiatives start from the top down and are designed for specific populations or make drastic changes to a school's learning structure. But any K-12 classroom teacher can find ways to leverage blended learning, regardless of the constructs of their learning environment. All they need is a willingness to rethink their role -- moving from content deliverer to architect of learning.

In The Perfect Blend, you'll learn how to create a "homemade recipe" for effective blended learning for your students. Rather than focusing on finding and implementing a specific established model, author Michele Eaton shows teachers how to embrace the flexibility of blended learning to take an active role as a designer of learning and, in the process, help students become advocates for their education.

This book:

• Provides an accessible resource for teachers beginning to use technology, as well as master blended teachers who are looking for new ideas or strategies.
• Includes templates and planning tools that can be used as is or modified to fit the needs of your students.
• Focuses on understanding and reflecting on your role as a designer of learning experiences, and creating and using digital content in the classroom.

Audience: K-12 teachers and instructional coaches
