• #BLinaction 
• https://linclearning.com/ 
• Our approach we use is called, Reflect, Tinker, Grow: We created a platform, called LINCspring, for personalized professional development. 

What is Blended Learning?

• There are many different ways to define blended learning. The most referenced definition comes from the Christensen Institute:
• The definition of blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns:

1. at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace;
2. at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home;
3. and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience. 

What is the PAACC Framework?

• Personalization: Providing unique learning pathways for individual students
• Agency: giving learners opportunities to participate in decisions about their learning
• Authenticity: giving learners the opportunity to create for a real audience both locally and globally
• Connectivity: giving learners opportunities to experience learning in collaboration with their peers and experts, locally and globally 
• Creativity: giving learners opportunities to make things that matter while building skills for their future

What are some edtech tools that you use to support the Blended Learning classroom?
