Introduction
A common problem in schools today is that students learn at different rates, and many need more time than what is given in class to learn the content. My "Tech Solution" is a project that outlines how blended learning can be used to solve this problem.
Context
In CEP 815, Technology and Leadership, we were given the task to come up with a way to extend the learning time needed for some students without adding more hours to the school day, or days to the calendar. Our plan also could not cost the school any more money, as most schools are on very tight budgets. We were presented this task as it is a very probable situation one might run into as a leader in educational technology. We were to use Google Presentation and write specific details of the plan in the "speaker notes" section. We also needed to use presentation techniques in our display that demonstrated key concepts we learned about what makes a good presentation.
Educational Application
The educational application of this project is to a broader community than just the students I teach. This type of project exemplifies educational reform on a building-wide, or district level. Several schools around the country are saving money by adopting some form of blended learning to their setting. More schools may need to turn to this in the future as educational demands increase and funds decrease.
