How can educators use blended learning to contribute to effective and individualized literacy programs in the lower primary classroom?
Overview
With the Covid 19 pandemic continuing to cause interruptions to schools and student learning, as well as the need to individualize teaching and learning, it is important for all students, parents, and teachers to begin to experiment with digital learning opportunities. Blended Learning is one way to provide lower primary students with the opportunity to experience online learning, while still in the face-to-face classroom. This provides the teacher with the opportunity to experience planning for online learning as well as to teach younger students how they can access these online learning tools.
"Blended learning is any formal education program in which a student learns, at least in part, through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path and/or pace"
(Blended: Using Disruptive Innovation to Improve Schools, Horn, Staker and Christensen, 2015, p.34)
