A2 I came to blended learning by accident through gamification and 1:1. The ability for Ss choice and differentiation was powerful #diverged

WeberEducation - Moderator Feb 21 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: The most impactful element of blended has been that students are doing more of the doing - teachers are giving up control #divergED

drangelapeery Feb 21 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: The one element that has been most impt to me is simple - just for Ts to see learning happens outside of class too #diverged

A3 my district pushing BL which is good. But many Ts get impression it is one station rotation style which discourages them #diverged
