This document discusses blended learning and provides instructions for a paper on the topic. Blended learning combines both face-to-face and online learning, allowing students to learn in both formats. Teachers are expected to integrate technology into their classrooms. Students are directed to research different types of blended learning, the learning theories that inform it, and advantages and disadvantages. They should also explain how blended learning changes the teacher's role and discuss how two webtools could be used to create a blended learning environment.

1. blended learning
Chapter 7 of our textbook describes how technology continues to be a strong presence in
our classrooms, especially with e-learning. Schools are finding that technology has provided
teachers with the ability to individualize instruction; therefore, it can be a great learning
tool to enhance instruction and motivate students. As future educators, you will be expected
to integrate the use of technology into your classroom lessons. Many schools are turning to
blended learning classrooms in which students can learn in both face-to-face and online
formats.

Use at least three scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook, to support your response.
You may cite web articles, peer-reviewed scholarly articles, your own experience, and/or
interviews with classroom teachers.
Explain how blended learning is changing your role as an educator.
Select two of the following Webtools: Edmodo, Twitter, Facebook, Storybird, Voicethread,
Google Docs, Diigo, or TodaysMeet. Conduct an internet search to find out more about these
Webtools and discuss how you might use your selected Webtools in the classroom to create
your blended learning environment.
