If only we had more computers, updated equipment, and equity at schools, we might be able to teach in a blended classroom! I think it is one solution! Read the NPR story about blended learning. I am excited to particpate in a blended classroom this summer in our district. If it works well, we might be able to teach a blended style in regular classrooms. I have tried this in adult Reading classes, and was surprised at the number of teachers who resist. I think self-paced learning combined with direct instruction creates more opportunities for differentiated instruction.

A PSALM OF LIFE: What the Heart of the Young Man (or Woman, apologies to Longfellow) Said to the Psalmist: Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.
