1. Leadership in Blended and Digital Learning Site Visit, Gearld Wright Elementary
In March, Gearld Wright Elementary hosted a site visit for the Leadership in Blended and Digital Learning cohort of elementary school principals and technology specialists. During this site visit principals were able to step into several classrooms to see first-hand how teachers are transforming their classrooms using blended and digital learning strategies. In addition to taking what they saw back to their own schools, some participants shared snapshots with us via social media posts that we will share in the Twitter Moment below. Also check out highlights from past LBDL site visits.
