The best blended learning tools will depend on each district and school’s situation as well as their LMS integrations, says Sherri Powell, an education specialist with the publishing and digital learning department of the Region 4 Education Service Center (ESC) in Texas.
But with that caveat firmly in place, Powell does have some favorite sites and platforms in general for blended learning that could be a good fit for specific districts and situations. And she speaks from a wealth of experience. Region 4 serves 80-plus school districts and charters and some 1.2 million students, and Powell’s department recently receive a blended learning grant from the Charles Butt Foundation. Powell was also recently honored with the Best Implementation of Digital Curriculum during the Tech & Learning Regional Leadership Summit in Philadelphia.
