 * Description: || Transitioning from a face-to-face classroom to an online learning environment is a tremendous challenge, even for the most effective and seasoned teacher. A hybrid, or blended, environment tries to combine the best of both worlds, but it also comes with it own unique considerations and opportunities. Albuquerque Evening High School has tackled some of these issues in its process of becoming eCADEMY at APS and can share the insights learned along the way. This engaging presentation will outline the issues that teachers face in adapting to a hybrid learning environment, offer strategies for keeping students on track and engaged, and reveal the work that remains to be done. ||
