Blended Lessons
Presenter:  Evelyn Daugherty
Moderator:  Kevin Upton

Have you ever wished you had an extra teacher (or two) in the classroom? What about a teacher for every student? In this session you will learn how to create blended lessons that allow every student to work at their own pace, at their own level, with you as as their personal teacher. Creating blended lessons not only supports differentiation and student autonomy, but also provides teachers the opportunity to work face-to-face with students one-one-one or in small groups. The session will begin with some examples of blended lessons and then provide an overview how to use Screencasting and Ed Puzzle to create blended lessons. You will leave the session not only with knowledge of how to use online videos to create your blended lessons, but also how to create videos that are tailored to your student's needs and context. The session will conclude with an opportunity to begin creating your own blended lesson.  ​
