COLLABORATE. CREATE. THINK CRITICALLY. COMMUNICATE.
Our goal is to elevate teaching and learning through the meaningful integration of instructional and functional technologies. Technology is integrated into our pedagogy and harnessed as a tool to strengthen the FCPS mission and vision for student success and empowerment.
Blended learning is active, engaged learning online combined with active, engaged learning offline to give students more control over the time, place, and path of their learning. A key aspect of this definition is positioning the students as "active agents" in the lesson or learning experience. (Catlin Tucker)
