Introduction to 
Blended Learning! 

Blended learning is a mixed of face-to-face learning and online learning.  For half of this unit we will be learning together in class, but the other half you will be doing here, on this site, in the computer lab.  Your job as an online learner will be to make sure you are completing each activity on time and taking charge of the learning you are doing.  You will be responsible for working your way through all the weeks and completing the activities assigned.  You will also be required to keep a blog and post written entries each week.  Your blog page can be found by clicking the tab titled "Colonist Blogs."  At the end of each week there will be a short quiz to test your knowledge.
