Several years ago I began blending my instruction in a second grade classroom. Throughout this journey I felt isolated and alone as I planned my instruction, but I quickly realized that I had tons of support from classroom teachers around the world who were also blending their instruction. I began taking advantage of Twitter where I was able to further my understanding of blended learning and found the support I needed to move forward in my instruction.

This course opened my eyes to the many myths about blended learning. I think I would have found these to be true several years ago, so I can see where people are coming from. However, I know there are effective resources out there that make blended learning just as fabulous for an instructor as his/her students.
I feel that through my instruction over the past few years I have thought about these myths, but was able to quickly dismiss them because of the success I had with my personal students.

This year I took on a new role as our school’s Instructional Coach. Our school has also moved to a blended learning focus. I am hoping to learn the best instructional strategies for teaching elementary students in a blended learning environment as well as ways to squash some of these myths with our staff. Throughout this course I have completed research that supports implementing blended learning within the elementary classroom. I am able to take this information back to our professional learning communities as I support teachers within my school to continue with their implementation of blended learning.
I love this infographic from Digital Learning Now.
