Best Practices: Blended Learning Models

As we plan our trip to the Theme Park,  here are a few things to consider as we choose our own adventure that fits our needs. 

In Catlin Tucker's Blog " The Why, How, and What of Blended Learning", she states, “Blended learning” is an umbrella term. Within the umbrella are many different models that give students different degrees of control over time, place, pace, and path. On one end of the spectrum are the rotation models, like the station rotation and flipped classroom models, where the teachers are the drivers of instruction. On the other end of the spectrum are models, like the a la cart and enriched virtual models, that rely heavily on online learning as the driver of instruction and learning happens primarily online.
