With online classes growing in popularity, Florida State University’s College of Education is offering a certificate program designed to train secondary school teachers in digital learning. Called Blended Online Learning and Teaching, the program is thought to be the only one of its kind in the Southeast. BOLT will be available starting in May with the summer semester. It was developed in response to President Obama’s call for an increased use of technology in K-12 education, said Dina Vyortkina, director of the office of information and instructional technologies in the College of Education. “We need to do a better job preparing our students to be teachers of e-learning,” Vyortkina said. “It can be a variety of tools, different technologies, video, audio, any type of media.”
