These three educational leaders and online learning innovators will address the catalysts that moved their districts into online and blended learning, how they prepared their teachers for online and blended instruction, the challenges they faced and how they overcame them, the key components of setting up an online or blended program, the valuable lessons they learned, and what they would do differently in the future.
