About
Now that schools are building a long-term blended learning strategy, it is essential to consider not just what devices are used but also what digital pedagogies are in place to drive learning outcomes. To develop a truly effective digital strategy, schools must focus not only on digital literacy skills, but also the complexities of blended learning design.

In this session we will discuss key questions around pedagogical reform.
Agenda
  • How is the accelerated use of technology changing the ways in which we teach?
  • How must schools reconsider their pedagogical approaches to ensure the same quality of learning for students in both remote and in-classroom settings?
  • How might we adapt the curriculum for a blended learning approach?
  • How can we keep accessibility and inclusion in mind during learning design?
