Abstract: The FIE Technology Partners Project (FTPP) is a collaborative practitioner/researcher initiative designed to gain knowledge about how blended professional learning sessions can be delivered and consequently impact classroom literacy instruction. The FTPP professional learning model uses a blended approach consisting of face-to-face and online sessions to address three main topics: literacy content, research-based instructional strategies, and the use of technology. Data were collected over 11 weeks as FTPP was implemented with prekindergarten and kindergarten teachers. Teacher feedback and observational data provide promising evidence that blended professional learning addressing the integration of technology and literacy positively impacts teaching and learning.
