Welcome to my blended learning blog! Let me start at the very beginning by introducing myself and including a little background information. I am a fifth grade teacher at a title one school in El Cajon, CA. I work at a departmentalized school, meaning I only teach math and science to two different groups of students. I am about to embark on my sixth year of teaching, and have spent my summer teaching in a third grade blended learning classroom. With all that said, I am just taking the leap into blended learning, 1:1 technology, and Common Core math. The purpose of this blog is to provide all my partner teachers, colleges, and peers with an opportunity to see the good, bad, and messy parts of developing a blended learning classroom. Here's to a new year, new technology, but most importantly a new adventure!
