Blended Learning is an educational model that combines traditional face-to-face instruction with technology-based instruction that best meets the educational needs of the student.
Blended Learning:
- Empowers teachers to transform learning through technology so that instruction is truly student-centered and students are future-ready.
- Enhances in-person instruction with educational technology.
- Enables students to learn anytime, anywhere, at any pace.
- Maximizes traditional face-to-face class time by leveraging technology that empowers students and teachers to connect, create, collaborate and learn.
- Combines classroom work time with technology apps, websites and other technology to make learning more active, engaging and relevant.
