**Session Title: // The MIT BLOSSOMS Project, On-Line Blended Learning Videos for High School Science and Math Classes //

Guest Speaker:**  Richard Larson &M. Elizabeth Murray, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

__ Suggested Audience – High School __ We present a STEM-related high school teaching project from MIT, BLOSSOMS, //**Blended Learning Open Source Science or Math Studies**//. [|http://blossoms.mit.edu] A key aim is to enhance critical thinking skills, moving away from rote memorization. Students are in their regular seats. Their regular teacher remains in charge of the class. On a screen, a BLOSSOMS video is shown in short segments. After each segment, the teaching 'baton' is passed to the in-class teacher who continues in a 'teaching duet.' After a certain learning objective is achieved, the next segment of the video is shown. This process iterates through the entire class.
