First of all, I would like to thank everyone who supported this series of posts on Blended Learning by up-voting all 9 articles I have published here in Steemit. I was really inspired by your response and that gave me motivation to really work hard on each of the posts. To the whales and minnows alike, THANK YOU for your support!

I have proven that Steemit is true to its promise of rewards both monetary and self-fulfillment as evidenced on each post I made. I hope you have learned something from this series as much as I have learned as I was doing my research and writing all 9 articles.

This post will serve as a Table of Contents to all the articles of my Blended Learning Series for easier access.

Conclusion

Blended Learning models are designed to achieve three (3) major goals in student learning and pedagogy:

1. Students can get individualized, self-paced instructions
2. Teachers can provide differentiated small group instruction based upon daily or weekly data
3. Schools can operate at a much lower cost per student which will allow them to reallocate resources.

At the heart of the Blended Learning models are the students. Teachers take the sidelines and serve as guides and mentors in the learning process of the students. Students have control over the pace, path, place, and time of their learning experience and at the same time allowing teachers to differentiate their approach to teaching students depending on individual needs. The traditional classroom is lessened and replaced by a more personalized engagement between student and teacher.

There are quite a few BL models out there and each model may be modified according to the needs of the students and the school setup. There is no "one-size-fit-all" model and that what makes BL a very versatile pedagogy.

If you want your students to be the center of learning, you will never go wrong with Blended Learning.

I am now starting another series called "EDUCATION Series" and hoping to contribute further to the "treasures" of Steemit.
