There are 6 different models of blended learning. Teachers can use whichever
model that best fits each student and their level:
Face to Face Driver
Rotation
Flex
Online Lab
Self Blend
Online Driver
Face-to-face teachers deliver most of the curriculum. The teacher uses online learning in a
technology lab or in the classroom as a supplement.
ROTATION
Within a given course, students rotate on a fixed schedule between self-paced online
learning and face to-face learning.
FLEX
ONLINE LAB
SELF BLEND

Some have seen blended learning approaches increase the level of active
learning strategies, peer-to-peer learning strategies, and learner centered
strategies used (Collis, 2003; Hartman, Dziuban, & Moskal, 1999; Morgan,
2002; Smelser, 2002).
Many learners want the convenience offered by a distributed environment,
and, at the same time, do not want to sacrifice the social interaction and
human touch they are used to in a F2F classroom. There are numerous
examples in this handbook of how blending is used to provide a balance
between flexible learning options and the high touch human interactive
experience. (Bonk, C. J. & Graham, C. R. (Eds.)
BENEFITS
There are huge benefits in implementing blended learning in the classroom. It:
Improves Efficiency-students can use adaptive technology to work on
their comprehension of new concepts, therefore giving more time to
teachers to focus on struggling students.
Saves money- blended learning can help school districts save money by
allowing students to bring their own tech devices. Also, the use of etextbooks can drive down costs instead of constantly reordering new
books.
BENEFITS CONT.
Better Student Data- Teachers can see the areas where students are
excelling and struggling. Then, they can take the proper measures to either
go on to the next topic or go over the subject more in depth.

CONCLUSION
Blended learning is one way that teachers can utilize the limited time that they
have with their students and use it to its fullest potential. There is a lot of
good points, but definitely some concerns. Technology is the future and as
teachers, we have to keep up. Blended learning is the start of an educational
method that will benefit students while using what they already know about
technology to their educational advantage.
