Technology provides teachers with an influential way to engage students, inform and differentiate instruction, document assessment and empower students to own their learning. However, if we want technology to be a transformative force in our schools, you have to start with the “why?” While technology has its place, we first and foremost want to make sure we’re prioritizing effective pedagogy and not simply masking bad practice” (Vargas, 2009)
In this keynote, we aim to share our journey on how through the use of design thinking methodologies we have developed blended learning courses which support quality cohesive teaching and learning within a blended learning landscape across multiple campuses within Haileybury. We aim to look at what are the key aims of a blended learning model and how this differs across the different ages and stages of schooling.
