Distance Education for Teacher Professional Development

See on Scoop.it - Studying Teaching and Learning

“In the future, we may all learn via the Internet, with seamless on- and off-line learning opportunities, and distance education, unlike face-to-face learning, offers opportunities for scale. Before we reach this shimmering future, we should ask three vital questions about our current reality:

1. Is distance education a viable solution to attain the kind of high quality teachers students need?
2. If so, how can we develop, deploy, and measure distance education for teachers and how do we define and measure impact?
3. Can distance education achieve both quality and scale or are they mutually exclusive?”

“There’s a growing interest in “flipping the classroom” to support differentiated instruction, allowing students to explore and learn at their own pace, and for buying time to do more project-based learning in class. It’s a simple idea that I first heard from a Virginia Tech engineering professor about 8 years ago when he called it “turning the classroom right side up”.
