The US Department of Education Revised 2010 Meta-Analysis and Review of Online Learning,  states that “…classes with online learning (whether taught completely online or blended) on average produce stronger student learning outcomes than do classes with solely face-to-face instruction.”

This course is designed for teachers of grades 5-12. During the four weeks of class time, teacher participants will review current theory related to online teaching and learning. Individual curriculum will be reviewed and participants will identify areas for change or modification. Teachers will re-imagine or rethink his/her classroom and explore new ways to best utilize time spent  F2F (face to face) and online. Class participants will collaborate as they develop or modify strategies or lessons that would “reverse” learning and allow for more effective F2F interactions.

At the conclusion of the class, participants will be prepared to implement the collection of lessons that they have developed. Teachers will be able to apply current theory to their teaching environments and they will be prepared to utilize a variety of online applications as a means of content delivery. Class participants will be prepared to reverse instruction and enhance learning in their own classrooms.
