Purpose

Students can only be successful in the 21st Century world when they are competent in 21st Century skills. In order for this to happen, educators must first embrace the 21st century in their classrooms and deliver rigorous, relevant, and effective instruction. Blended learning can help educators facilitate learning in ways that effectively support 21st Century skills such as:

  • Critical thinking

  • Communication skills

  • Creativity

  • Problem-solving

  • Perseverance

  • Collaboration

  • Technology skills and digital literacy

  • Media literacy

  • Self-direction

  • Social skills

  • Social responsibility

  • Innovation skills (Buckle, n.d.)

This Professional Learning Module (PLM) will serve to help you better understand what blended learning is and how it can positively impact you and your students.
