"We should watch students learn, they should not watch us teach". A blended classroom allows teachers the opportunity to give information to students, and watch the students interact with that information. Teachers become facilitators as they watch students collaborating with information, and increasing their knowledge.
"We should prepare students for their future, not for our past". Giving students the opportunity to take control of their learning will also prepare them to be better employees. Solving problems and collaborating with others gives our students a vehicle to use their individual talents in conjunction with the talents and personalities of others. How many times do we go to work sit in rows and listen to someone talk all day? That is just not the world we live in. We solve problems on a daily basis and when we develop a project or event, we collaborate with our colleagues.
Technology has given us a tool that allows students to learn and collaborate outside of the classroom. It allows students to go deeper, into a topic than we can ever take them in a "traditional" classroom.
