Blended Learning in Action supports teachers, teacher leaders, and
schools as they shift to a blended learning model. Blended learning
has several advantages over traditional instruction if technology
is used to effectively engage students in active learning both
inside the classroom and online. Blended learning allows for more
communication and collaboration both synchronously and
asynchronously, creates more opportunities for students to drive
their own learning, provides teachers with more time to work
one-on-one or in small groups to differentiate and personalize
learning while providing more timely feedback. This book includes
research, examples, anecdotes, and resources gathered from the
authors' work as well as interviews with teachers and school
leaders using different blended models.
