Blended Learning

  • Blended is already here and is so broadly defined that it is perhaps helpful to group “blended” into categories as per the Christensen Institute’s models approach: http://www.christenseninstitute.org/blended-learning-definitions-and-models/. International schools in Asia have been swimming in these waters for years. Being conscious of that fact, and having a willingness to research and apply best practices through that lens may be where we can most productively focus our energies.
