Blended learning in Ohio – Principals’ View
(c) Project Tomorrow 2013
“There is a lot of national discussion on the potential of "blended learning" to transform education. In general, the concept means that students are engaged to some degree in face-to-face instruction in a traditional classroom while also spending time driving their own learning online. There are several different models of blended learning. “
