Blended learning is an educational approach that combines in-person teaching with online learning to give students a more personalized and flexible learning experience.

Instead of teaching everything face-to-face or relying solely on digital tools, blended learning merges the two. Here's how it works:

• In-person learning happens in your classroom, where you interact with students, lead discussions, and provide hands-on activities.

• Online learning involves using technology—like educational websites, apps, or platforms—to let students work independently, explore topics, or practice skills at their own pace.

Dr. Catlin Tucker offers an engaging TedTalk on why we are shifting away from traditional 'sage on the stage' teaching to more techn-integrated blended learning that supports student voice, student agency, differentiation, and personalized learning.

One blended learning model that teachers can use is station rotations! Station rotations allow students to interact with a concept in meaningful but different ways, and can also free the teacher up to work with small groups on targeted interventions or enrichments.
