Blended is the practical field guide for implementing

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

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.
