Interested in Blended Learning?

I am happy to offer versions of the following workshops (from 1-hour to full-day) at your school for Professional Development throughout the year:

Shape Your Online Courses for Blended Learning
  • ​How do you construct online courses for a blended learning approach? In this collaborative hands-on workshop, we’ll practice editing, personalizing and “Yukonizing” Moodle courses, while sharing ideas and experiences about online learning management. We’ll also preview the latest Yukon Moodle site updates, and check out recent revisions of BCLN grade 5-12 courses.
​
​Blended Learning and the Redesigned Curriculum
  • ​Do you teach multiple competency-level, multi-grade, and/or multi-subject classes? Discover how teachers use the flexibility of “Blended Learning” approaches to align practices with curriculum redesign, and incorporate an online learning management system to address student needs, enable community building, build lesson structures, and blend face-to-face with digital activities.

I can also come to your school for one-to-one or group support visits. See 'Contact Me' in the menu bar above for details on how to reach me.
