The wonderful Mr. Chris Kenniburg has authored a great post called Top 3 Ways to Stop Blended Learning. I love his take on this. This is done firmly with tongue in cheek.
His Top 3 ways:
- Blame the Current LMS for Lack of Adoption with Staff
- Technology Makes Teaching and Learning Easy
- Change…Because What You Have Isn’t Working
Plus, a Bonus Tip:
- Let Each Teacher Decide What Tool to Use
Seriously, go check out the article, then come back. I’ll wait.
Next, he provide three ways to help break the cycle and actually develop technology tools and skills that make a difference with real teachers and students.
- Keep It Simple
- Be Consistent
- Do the Work
Now, I was lucky enough to have some discussions with Chris about the post. He drafted the post and shared an early version with me. He did a great job with the post. It is right on and well worth a read.
I especially love the parts about investing in yourself. It is crucial that educators do the work to learn and implement effective methods of teaching and learning.
Seriously, go read the article.
