Tom Vander Ark: Blended Learning Update

Most secondary schools will soon be blended and that’s good news for students.
What is "blended learning"? In the K-12 context. my definition of blended learning is:
  1. Shifting instructional responsibility for at least a portion of the day to an online or computer-based environment.
  2. Boosting learning, staffing and/or facilitating productivity.
By decade end, most secondary students will do most of their learning online and most will attend a school that is at least partially blended. The shift from print to digital and classes to students will allow more students to graduate from high school in three years with one year of college credit.
Click here to read more of my thoughts on blended learning and why I believe that as tools and platforms get more sophisticated we’ll see blends that increasingly customize the rate and mode of learning experience for every student.
