“The level of support and resources provided by the Michigan Virtual team have been invaluable in transforming my thinking about blended learning.”
Kelly Newell

“Blended Learning Live! ranks up there with the best professional learning experience I’ve had. As an educator who does not have a background in instructional technology, the content of this 2-day series helped me to easily understand the possible entry points into blended learning a teacher can choose from based on his/her readiness.”
