eSchool News webinar explores best practices of blended learning

Oct. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- Bethesda, Md. -- eSchool News will host an upcoming webinar, “Erasing the Limits: Sharpening Your Students’ Edge while Watching Your Bottom Line through Blended Learning.”

Virtual and blended learning aren’t the future - they're today’s reality. Blended learning combines the personalized, self-paced aspects of online learning with the face-to-face instruction students want and need.  By providing the best of both worlds, schools and districts are achieving amazing academic gains as they help young minds realize endless possibilities.

Join Liz Chico, blended learning specialist at Florida Virtual School, and Travis Johnson, director of alternative education at Tolleson Union High School, as they discuss how educators everywhere are erasing the limits of education and driving results through a blended approach to learning.

Webinar attendees will:
-   Understand the educational and financial benefits of blended learning from experts who have put it to work in the classroom.
-   Learn what you can do to successfully start and maintain a blended learning environment.
-   Hear from a large-scale educational software user who has achieved outstanding results by combining quality online instruction with in-person teacher time.

Sponsored by Pearson, the webinar will take place Tuesday, November 8th at 2:00 p.m. EDT (11:00 a.m. PST). The presentation is expected to last one hour, and registration is free.
