Ben DeGrow is senior education policy analyst for the Independence Institute, a free-market think tank in Golden, Colo. He recently took a look at Carpe Diem Charter School, a middle and high school "elearning community" in Yuma, Ariz., that has embraced blended learning.
"Explaining the success of Carpe Diem Collegiate High School and Middle School requires more than simple answers, but the school’s innovations hold great promise for expanding educational excellence and opportunity," DeGrow writes.
"School leaders insist there is no magic in the circuitry or fiber optics," DeGrow continues. He the quotes Carpe Diem founder and executive director Rick Ogston:
“It’s not about technology. It’s about how students learn nowadays.” He believes engaging students in their education requires a proper understanding of the art of instruction, and technology provides the critical leverage," according to Ogston.
