Technology is awesome. Teachers are better. Blending new technologies into instruction is a non-negotiable if we are to help our students gain the skills they'll need to thrive in careers. And so too is educators' old school wisdom in planning intentional blended learning that works. Hence, BOLD SCHOOL. Bold School thinkers embrace Blended pedagogies and Old school wisdom. After all , the goal of blended learning isn't technology--it's student achievement. Based on Weston Kieschnick's book, this will demystify blended learning and provide you with a methodology to help you meld purposeful technology use with your old school wisdom to enhance instruction and learning via the Bold School Framework for Strategic Blended Learning. Vocabulary instruction will be used as an example of how the Bold School Framework can be used.
