Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) October 27, 2015 -- How can school districts blend traditional teaching methods with technology to help students achieve their best learning outcomes? Join district educators from Hawaii Technology Academy in a live webinar to learn how their approach to student-centered blended learning is improving outcomes and connecting students to their teachers and communities across the district—and a chain of islands.

Webinar Title: No Student Is an Island: Improving Outcomes With Blended Learning
Date: Wednesday, October 28, 2015
Time: 3 PM ET
Host: Education Week
Sponsor: Connections Learning by Pearson

Guests:

  • Marc Collins, High school math teacher, Hawaii Technology Academy, Oahu, Hawaii
  • Donna Therrien, Director of Pedagogical Practice, Hawaii Technology Academy, Oahu, Hawaii
  • Evan Pinto, Regional Manager, Virtual Learning, Pearson (moderator)

Seventy-five percent of all U.S. school districts offer online or blended courses, according to Keeping Pace With K-12 Online & Blended Learning (2013).

“By adding technology, we are maximizing student instruction time rather than minimizing it,” said Donna Therrien, Director of Pedagogical Practice at Hawaii Technology Academy. “We can also analyze our student data in real time, make collaborative decisions, and act on them right away to improve the learning experience.”

Webinar attendees will discuss:

  • Improving quality of life for students and educators through blended learning
  • Stretching existing or limited resources and staff
  • Adding project-based learning and authentic assessments into classrooms
  • Selecting the right learning management system and online curriculum
  • Keeping pace with global evolutions in technology and education
  • Maintaining the human element in face-to-face and online course work

Participants may interact with presenters during a live question and answer session. To register for the free, one-hour web seminar on Wednesday, October 28, 2015, at 3:00 PM ET, click here or visit http://www.ConnectionsLearning.com for more information.
