🌍📚 Blended Teaching: New Competencies for World Language Teachers 💻✏️

At the Eaquals Conference in Lisbon, Borup explored the evolving role of world language teachers in the post-COVID era. With the shift back to classrooms, teachers are now blending in-person and online learning—a challenge requiring new skills and strategies.

Jered’s presentation highlighted the Blended Teacher Readiness Survey, a valuable tool for measuring teachers' blended teaching competencies. Once assessed, teachers can use the open-access book to enhance their blended teaching skills. The resource also includes short videos showcasing real-world applications of blended teaching practices. 🎥📖

This session provided practical resources and insights, supporting teachers as they navigate and master this blended learning environment.

Today would be my last day at George Mason University. After 27 years and 10 months, leaving is bittersweet but I will miss my students (having taught over 800 Masters and Doctoral students) in the Learning Design & Technology/Learning Technology Design Research programs. I wish all the best to them as well as to my friends and colleagues and I look forward to the next chapter.
