Using Technology in Larger Classrooms

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.
