Future Schools: Blending Face-to-Face and Online Learning
Schorr, Jonathan; McGriff, Deborah
Education Next, v11 n3 p10-17 Sum 2011
This article describes school models that offer a vision for what deeply integrated technology can mean for children's education, for the way schools are structured, and for the promise of greater efficiency amid a lengthy economic downturn. This is much more than simply taking a class online. Already, millions of children take one or more online courses, ranging from credit recovery to Advanced Placement. And there's a wide range of ways that the school facility and online learning--"bricks and clicks"--mix. The authors' interest is specifically in schools and platforms that use technology intensively and thoughtfully to tailor instruction to individual students' needs, and provide robust, frequent data on their performance.
