K-2 Educators in public schools encountered several difficulties when trying to acquire and integrate the new technologies needed to use blended learning methods during the COVID-19 epidemic. The problem was that educators of K-2 students in public schools serving low-income communities were unprepared to acquire and use blended learning technology during the COVID-19 pandemic in Georgia State. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive phenomenological study is to understand how K-2 educators experienced the implementation of blended learning and how their experiences shaped and informed their teaching practices in low-SES schools in Georgia during the pandemic. A qualitative methodology and interpretive phenomenological design were used to gather qualitative data regarding the lived experiences of the 14 educators. The participants taught kindergarten to fifth grade. Data was collected from the described participants using individual semi-structured interviews. The audio-recorded interviews were transcribed and checked for accuracy using member checks and analyzed thematically using NVivo. Six themes were identified: blended learning and technology inclusion in schools, blended learning benefits, blended learning and student outcomes, educator training for blended learning, the COVID-19 pandemic and blended learning, perceptions of blended learning among students and parents during COVID-19, educator preparation and implementation of blended learning during COVID-19, and blended learning in low-income school districts. The study concluded that K-2 educators were able to adopt approaches that enhance student-centered engagement, enabling the educators to meet students' needs by using different blended learning tools in the classroom.
