Who is Education Elements:
Education Elements advises schools and school systems on the potential of blended learning, works side-by-side with them to implement blended learning in their classrooms, and provides a technology platform (the Hybrid Learning Management System) that makes it easy and effective for leaders, teachers and students to blend online learning into their school.
They are helping us as a district and staff to bring us up to speed quickly on what blended learning looks like, co-designing a school model alongside your team, and offering a software platform that brings it all together for teachers, students, and administrators.
What does our design look like?
Worked over the summer with Education Elements to create a design that is based on the IB Design Cycle and PDSA, so with this it should seamlessly work into each of our classrooms
Goal for the first year: all ELA classrooms and 9th grade (Fall 13), 10th grade (Spring 14)
