Article One: Blog Post on classroom Visits 

One of my favorite parts of my job is being able to go into the classroom to watch blended learning in action.  The classroom coaching model brings the blended learning workshops to life when I can provide just in time suggestions. This one-on-one coaching lends itself to generating sustainability as well as designing a plan that best works with the students within each classroom environment.  No two classrooms are the same; therefore the coaching strategies have to differ from one teacher to the next.

Article Three: engaging Students from Bell to Bell 

Recently, I was asked by a school district to showcase how to engage students from bell to bell in a blended learning environment.  I generated a quick presentation of what a 50 minute class period would look like from the viewpoint of the students and the viewpoint of the teacher.  The five-minute video will quickly explain entrance tickets, learning studios, and exit tickets that can be used in any classroom setting.
