Pam Halstead
I teach science at Fortuna High School in
northern California. I’m using Energy 101 from
UT AustinX in my Green Technology course.
I watch the video sequenced lectures a day
ahead of my class, then we watch the lectures
together in class. I developed a study guide
for each sequence, with discussion questions
and fill-in-the-blanks questions, and administer
an in-class test that I create every six
modules.
Energy 101 is a graduate level course, so the
pace is fast and it covers a lot. My high school
students are stretching, and the
supplementary study material I give them helps
them. I see my students’ success on tests in
class and it is clear to me that they are
absorbing and processing the material more
successfully with the added online
component.

Challenges:
 Teach AP outside discipline
 Limited access to resources
 Scaling PD workshops
Outcomes:
 1335 enrollments in TwDN
 300 teachers using blended AP
 4000 students impacted, 1 CEU (10 hours)
A community of teachers sharing their ideas only makes us all better at what we do.
