my presentation about online hybrid learning

1. FROM THE
TRENCHES
Amy Balling

2. This session will address triumphs and struggles faced in the
past four years of running a blended Regents Biology class. We
will take a look at how online learning helps to address the
needs of the students in a mixed classroom with students at
various levels of ability. You will walk away with cost-effective
strategies and free tools to enhance your traditional classroom
and get you on your way to creating your own blended learning
environment.
