Trend Impacts

The blended or flipped model classroom is the trend that has the most impact in today's classroom. By blending "traditional" instruction with "online" instruction, you are able to take the best of both into one.

Traditional:

• Face to face contacts humans need.
• Understanding of material with real time discussions and question and answer sessions
• Personable  ability to work with other humans.
• Bonds made by teachers and students to be successful in society.
• "Teachable moments" that remind teachers why we spent all of that time and money at major Universities and Colleges.
• Friendships made that last before and after Facebook

Online

• Ability to work in your own pace.
• Ability to work from home, library, backyard, on top of a mountain, etc.
• Ability to utilize modern technology that will impact their future career.
• Ability to share and compare lessons and plans with colleagues in other classes or even other schools.
• Ability to write fewer drafts with less spelling errors, link artifacts, and create exciting resources and projects.
