>> Agents of Change //Integrating Technology with Classroom Practice //

This seminar is focused on the application of e-learning and educational technologies to traditional classroom instruction. The topic question is as follows:
 * Welcome to Colleen & Hillary's Seminar **

**//"Given the educational and organisational implications of blended learning, how can individual teachers be agentic in this emerging phenomenon?//"**
 * //Learning Objectives:// **
 * 1) Exploring definitions of blended learning
 * 2) Examining examples of how ICT has been integrated into existing school models.
 * 3) Reflecting on your own practice and creating an artefact

//**Note:**// While there are a range terms that we could have used to describe the use of educational technologies to support face-to-face learning in a classroom, we have chosen to use the term "Blended-learning" throughout this seminar.

//**On Personal Note.... **// We have both experienced the feeling of being overwhelmed with study commitments. Given our perceived lack of work-life balance at the moment we wanted to ensure that each participant finds this wiki both practical and relevant to their individual contexts. So, our purpose in this wiki has been is to align the included tasks with your real-life commitments in this course, as well as in your workplace.

While some of the articles are focused more on secondary/primary context, we think that these can be applied to tertiary and industry contexts as well by substituting best practice teaching guidelines.

//**Having Problems? **// If you are feeling frustrated, annoyed, overwhelmed, or even just having trouble finding something, please let us know so we can address your concerns. You can click here to 'vent your frustrations' to us!
