I have the privilege of teaching a true blended learning grade nine math class in inner city Hamilton, Ontario. The students are grade 8 students that travel to our high school 3 mornings (75 min each) each week. The other two days, the students are expected to login into the Desire2Learn platform available throughout Ontario.
So many reasons to be excited...
- online learning included web based games, activities, quizzes, investigations, polling
- tech integration including use of iPads and computers - or even the students' own devices
- addressing multiple learning styles through use of interactive whiteboard, videos, collaboration, etc
I could go on...
All the while, not only are my students enjoying new and different learning experiences, I continue my quest to continually expand my teaching repertoire with the hope to engage more learners.
"Embrace Life Long Learning"
My other learning in this endeavour... D2L - new for me
I have been using Edmodo for a couple years now and have always been very happy with the results. D2L is a new experience for me - and I am also enjoying it. More to come.
