Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show how a blended learning model has been developed and implemented. We also explain what lessons have been learned from carrying out and continuously improving the blended learning strategies presented in the modern education technology course. We selected a sample of 277 student teachers from four different classes at the Hubei University of Education to take part in the study. The two components of the implementation process of the lab-rotation blended learning model included initial implementation and follow-up enhancement. Classroom observation and interviews were employed throughout the study, as means to collect feedback from students regarding any problems and obstacles they experienced during the initial implementation process. Our results show that the enhanced blended learning model was effective in helping student teachers to learn the modern education technology course.
