These teachers completed a rigorous 2-year blended learning program, attending evening face-to-face classes as well as engaging in online learning units in between class sessions. In these classes, teachers explored ways to leverage classroom technology in a consctructivist, student-centered approach to increase instructional effectiveness and student achievement. They also earned their Educational Technology endorsements.
