Blended 
Using Disruptive Innovation to Improve Schools

Navigate the transition to blended learning with this practical
field guide

Blended is the practical field guide for implementing
blended learning techniques in K-12 classrooms. A follow-up to the
bestseller Disrupting Class by Clayton M. Christensen,
Michael Horn, and Curtis Johnson, this hands-on guide expands upon
the blended learning ideas presented in that book to provide
practical implementation guidance for educators seeking to
incorporate online learning with traditional classroom time.
Readers will find a step-by-step framework upon which to build a
more student-centered system, along with essential advice that
provides the expertise necessary to build the next generation of
K-12 learning environments. Leaders, teachers, and other
stakeholders will gain valuable insight into the process of using
online learning to the greatest benefit of students, while avoiding
missteps and potential pitfalls.

If online learning has not already rocked your local school, it
will soon. Blended learning is one of the hottest trends in
education right now, and educators are clamoring for ‘how-to’
guidance. Blended answers the call by providing detailed
information about the strategy, design, and implementation of a
successful blended learning program.

* Discover a useful framework for implementing blended
learning

* Unlock the benefits and mitigate the risks of online
learning

* Find answers to the most commonly asked questions surrounding
blended learning

* Create a more student-centered system that functions as a
positive force across grade levels

Educators who loved the ideas presented in Disrupting
Class now have a field guide to making it work in a real-world
school, with expert advice for making the transition smoother for
students, parents, and teachers alike. For educational leaders
seeking more student-centered schools, Blended provides the
definitive roadmap.
