Equipping student for the future

Currently, 50% of today’s jobs require technology skills and

that number is expected to grow to 77% in the next 10 years

A growing number of jobs will require that applicants know

how to work remotely, dialogue online with

coworkers, work collaboratively using tools like Google

Docs and wikis, and communicate via e-mail, Skype, and

Twitter.

The globalization of the workplace requires a skill set that

many students are not taught in school.

Absence of technology in school creates a disconnect

between the students’ lives outside of the classroom

DefinitionBlended learning provides teachers

and students with flexibility.

Teachers can design lessons that

weave the best of traditional

instruction with the unique

benefits of an online component

using mobile and other technology to

achieve optimal learning

outcomes for all students.

The addition of technology does not necessarily equate to a

21st century classroom; however, technology can be the

vehicle used to hook student interest and develop relevant

skills needed to be successful beyond school.
