What is Blended Learning?
Today’s educational landscape is constantly in flux, and there are constantly new teaching methods and theories being developed and tested. This profusion of information can make it difficult for parents to stay up-to-date with the last happenings in education. I know that my wife and I had to ask the question “What is blended learning?” when we attended a recent PTA meeting.
As you can probably guess from the moniker, blended learning combines several teaching methods to help students reach their full potential. This typically includes a mixture of face-to-face interaction and online or computer-based courses. Not only does this allow for specialized teaching, but it also exposes students to a variety of technologies, which is essential for success in the modern world.
