The Right Technology for Blended Learning
Blended learning combines classroom learning with online learning, in which students can, in part, control the time, and pace of their learning. The online technology component you choose for your blended learning program is vitally important. In fact, ASCD recommends “Technology shouldn’t be something else you have to add to your already full plate. Instead, use technology to replace and improve what you already do.”
Educators using Ascend Math quickly developed a powerhouse approach to blended learning. Using Ascend Math, they have just the right mix of face-to-face instruction with technology-mediated activities. In fact, a blended learning approach has become one of the most popular and successful applications of Ascend Math.
No matter which specific model of blended learning you are considering (station rotation, flipped classroom, flex model, or enriched virtual) Ascend Math better complements your whole class and small group instruction because it offers a truly individualized study plan for each student.
This is what sets Ascend Math apart from other intervention programs and ensures greater success in a blended learning application.
