Go Blended! is a practical implementation guide for educators interested in getting blended learning off the ground.

Throughout the book teachers with blended learning experience share helpful tips and lesson plans to help educators make purposeful choices in using technology to fulfill students' needs without becoming an end in itself. This useful guide also offers key documents and timelines to support a blended learning implementation and provides step-by-step practical advice for avoiding mistakes.

  • Investigate leadership and staff readiness to "go blended."
  • Learn how to evaluate and purchase the right educational software.
  • Keep the program's goals in mind throughout the development process.
  • Teach lessons that set students up for success when using classroom technology.
  • Tailor the program to the students, not the other way around.
