  24. Online Learning In a Nutshell Supports theories of learning Differentiates instruction in the way content is presented, knowledge is expressed and interest is engaged Blended Classroomoffers the best of both worlds by integrating Millennium learning styles into the traditional classroom Students are NOT yet experts as “informed consumers, intelligent learners, creative producers and effective communicators”; it is the teachers job to deliver this expertise! Expands the curriculumand offers an affordable alternative for students who do not fit into the traditional classroom Students are experts in texting, gaming, music uploads and “browsing the Web” (Lemke & Couphlin, 2009, p. 54) (Lemke & Couphlin, 2009, p. 54)
