A5: Find someone who does "blended"- observe, learn, question, collaborate, reflect. Together, we've got this. Find your people. #NoVAedchat

ProfeTravis Sep 27 @ 8:46 PM EDT

But that's where flexible learning spaces and student choice of output comes in! #novaedchat

Q3: What struggles do you face when planning blended learning activities for your students? #NoVAedChat #BL

scigates Sep 27 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5 share new techniques at lunch, casual env allows Ts to ask questions w/out being self conscious #novaedchat

A5: the best tip i was given was: "don't assume students don't know how to use the tech..." They are digital natives! #NoVAedchat

jcjITRT51 Sep 27 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A5: My tip to those that are just starting is don't get flustered. You are going to have ups and downs, but keep the end in mind #NoVAedchat

coreythornblad Sep 27 @ 8:50 PM EDT

I think that can be difficult with standards. Some things they have to know so I give them the info in different ways. #NoVAedchat

Another tip I'd share is this one - you don't have to do EVERYTHING. Just do something and start! #NoVAedchat

TechyMargaret - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:52 PM EDT

And if you're supporting folks who are working to change, know it can be hard! Remember this #NOVAedchat
