Blending, Flipping and Personalized: How Online Learning is Transforming Teacher Practice

1:30 PM - 2:30 PM, October 29 2013

Southern Hemisphere II

track:   Research & Evaluation

Online learning debates primarily focus on student outcomes. However, the real impact of leveraging online learning tools should be about changing teacher practice. The 2012 Speak Up National Research Project polled 56,000 teachers nationwide on the impact of online learning on their practice as well as student outcomes. In this session, we will review new findings around blended, flipped, and personalized learning and learn from a teacher panel about their experiences and expectations.

Panelists:

·         Dr. R. Mark Beadle, CEO and Head of School, Sevenstar

·         Renee Citlau, National Online Teacher of the Year and from Anaheim Union High School District (CA)

·         William Lange, Blended Learning Coordinator with Maricopa Unified School District (AZ)
