After you have reflected on what
technological tools were beneficial during
remote learning, make a note that these are
the tools you want to continue to introduce
into a physical classroom. After you have a
list of the tools you plan to implement in your

important to determine the ratio of time
spent in front of the class versus assisting on
the side. Finding the ratio of time that works
best for you will allow the blended learning
implementation into your classroom to be
the most effective.
