75-Minute Recording of Video Online Seminar
Have you ever fallen behind in your lesson plans, missed one-on-one time with students due to illness or had class cancelled from a natural disaster? You never know when the next Hurricane Katrina or H1N1 epidemic will strike. Educators from across the country are taking advantage of today’s technology to ensure you can continue education and keep communication lines open during crisis.
The solution to this problem is called Blended Learning, an approach to education that combines the best of the face-to-face classroom instruction with the best of the Web. Blended learning is not just a new technological option but a strong possibility of the future norm.
In the seminar Prepare for Natural Disasters and Outbreaks with Blended Learning, instructional systems technology expert Curt Bonk, Ph.D., will explain how you can create a plan for the unexpected and serve your students better. In the presentation, Bonk will lay out powerful and motivational blended learning solutions from which to choose. Become an expert today of what will be expected of you tomorrow.
