The document discusses blended learning strategies for teacher education. It defines blended learning as combining online and in-person instruction using the right technologies matched to learning styles. Blended learning blends past teaching methods with new technologies. It requires technology, supportive learning environments, effective teachers, and open-minded teacher educators with technology skills. Blended learning can help students reach their potential if implemented properly with conceptual changes and training to replace fears of new technologies with skills and confidence.
