    Q2: Many schools have blended classes this year. How has the revised curriculum complemented multi-aged classrooms? #bcedchat

    What about frustrating? 10-12 ELA has the same comps for each level. #bcedchat
    In reply to @technolandy

    Absolutely. Collaboration, collective efficacy, and sense-making with others are key. #bcedchat

    A2. Great question. SFU and UBC use blended learning strategies more often than not. Would be a great direction to take in K-12. #bcedchat

      Q2: Many schools have blended classes this year. How has the revised curriculum complemented multi-aged classrooms? #bcedchat

    A2: at our school, we are all combined classes. Looked at year A/B but then issues with those that go from 1/2 to 3/4 classes #bcedchat

    @JanetChowMSc any examples of high schools with blended classrooms that stand-out for you? Love to be inspired by their stories #bcedchat

    What is the format of blended learning #bcedchat

    Definitely going to push the way schools do business: breaking down components to allow Ss to focus on blending competencies with academics! #bcedchat

    Weve got quite a few combined-type classes merging English/Science/Socials. Mix. Interesting #bcedchat
    In reply to @RosePillay1
  • ChristineYH Oct 1 @ 10:22 PM EDT
    Blended learning is mixing online with face-to-face. Lots of strategies to implement. Challenge: Find strategy to max. learning. #bcedchat
  • brynmw Oct 1 @ 10:23 PM EDT
    Perhaps some ‘elective’ classes like foods and metal? #bcedchat
    In reply to @RosePillay1, @JanetChowMSc
  • rilmcknight Oct 1 @ 10:23 PM EDT
    A2: Coming from a small school blended classes are a must. Allowing the use of core comp over 2 grades has made it easier #bcedchat
  • ChristineYH Oct 1 @ 10:23 PM EDT
    I can't type more than 140 on TweetDeck on my desktop. Can do 240 on my phone. Ahhh... choices for #bcedchat #doing140

  • NicoleDesy1 Oct 1 @ 10:25 PM EDT
    A1: I had a 1/2 last year. I found the curriculum helpful as there were lots of similarities and good opportunities for stretching #bcedchat
  • brynmw Oct 1 @ 10:25 PM EDT

    Good one. I read the question as "blended learning." Not sure what blended classes are... does that mean "inclusive"? #bcedchat
    In reply to @brynmw

    More topical to connect instead of age/grade #bcedchat
    In reply to @RosePillay1, @maricelignacio
  • technolandy Oct 1 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    A3 and with 10-12 breaking down subject into components, I’m interested to hear from secondary educators on competency blends! #bcedchat
  • NicoleDesy1 Oct 1 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    A2: but I did have difficulty covering all the big ideas for science! Lots of material and only some similarities! #bcedchat
