Capítulo 11. Projetando espaço Blended Learning para o Student Experience Chapter 11. Designing Blended Learning Space to the Student Experience Andrew J. Blended Learning: Combining Face-to-Face and Online Education There's this myth in the brick and mortar schools that somehow the onset of online K-12 learning will be the death of face-to-face (F2F) interaction.

[Education] is moving away from large-scale prescriptive approaches to more individualized, tailored, differentiated approaches.” This is a concept that is dear to my heart – the transformation of our current school system and its focus on the individual 'schoolhouse, into a networked schooling system, with its emphasis on the inherent strength of the network, on collaboration, sharing, synergy etc.
Five handy Google Docs tools you’re not using Google updates Docs dozens of times a year, here are five handy tools you likely missed. By David Politis Many companies make the move to Google Business or Enterprise by first embracing the platform's messaging components, including Mail, Calendar, Contacts and Chat. Once users have a good handle on these features, it's wise to roll out Google Apps' Collaboration features, including Google Docs. However, unlike messaging components, there is often a slower adoption rate associated with Docs purely due to the user's general lack of familiarity.
7 Reasons Why Blended Learning Makes Sense SMARTER SCHOOLS | by Michael Spencer Education no longer comes in rows and textbooks, but from a combination of sources. Let’s start with a definition. What exactly is blended learning? 7 Good Screen Capture Tools for Teachers Introducing new technology tools to your students or to your colleagues can become a frustrating exercise if you end up repeating the same step-by-step directions over and over again.
