Blended Learning the Right Way...
Best practices in education are consistent regardless of the year or the available technologies. However, when technology exists in the hands of learners, it is prudent to embed the technology into best practice instruction and assessment in order to attempt to keep pace with students' lives and experiences outside of school and keep education relevant. With guidance students will not only stay engaged in lessons, but also contribute to the learning environment. Ultimately, using blended learning environments will promote adaptability, fluency and mastery in students for the good of us all.
