In the March 2009 issue of Tech & Learning (http://techlearning.com/), Marty Weil writes about the technical revolution which is occurring in a small number of classrooms around our country in his article, The Blended Classroom Revolution (pp. 28-32). The most interesting example is that of Chicago’s VOISE (Virtual Opportunities Inside a School Environment) Academy. Here, students attend “faculty-staffed labs with high-end technology and broadband internet access,” creating a completely modular learning experience where students learn completely at their own pace and at their specific level; independent learning at its finest.

Now step back from this revolutionary school and look toward the future. The blending of traditional classroom settings and virtual online eduction is at our doorstep. All learners need to do is embrace this revolution and allow traditional education to be disrupted.
