There was a time in university where my procrastination hit an all-time high – where anything was better than writing essays. It was in this moment of hilarious irresponsibility that I discovered the “Will it Blend?” video series on YouTube.
I’m coming back to it now as I begin to think about how to confront the realities that: a) eLearning is becoming a legitimate alternative to the face-to-face classroom, and b) technology is allowing us to, in the words of Dr. Ruben Puentedura, create new educational tasks and opportunities that were “previously inconceivable”. How can I best leverage the power and benefits of technology and personalized learning in a face-to-face classroom?
