Blended Learning: The best of the best

Blending the best of Face to Face with the best of Online Learning

This year, our district and building tech goals revolve around the successful implementation of Blended Learning. To support this goal, upcoming tech tips will focus on various components of blended learning and how you can leverage blended learning models and tools to improve teaching and learning. This week's tip includes a few resources to refresh your memory about the definition of Blended Learning. The image below contains the definition of Blended Learning from the Christensen Institute, the leading organization researching Blended Learning. Check out their website for a wide variety of resources.

Key takeaways:

• Must have some element of face to face.
• Must have some element of digital/online.
• Students can controls some element of time, place, path and/or pace.
• Face to face and digital components must work together (be integrated).
