This video really caught my eye because we are all future teachers who are going to be making decisions about our own teaching styles. This school really incorporates technology in their curriculum. The students are doing the exploration while the teacher is facilitating the lesson. If your school had the budget for this kind of classroom, would you prefer to run your classroom with the blended learning system? I find pros and cons to this style of independent learning. I think that this type of class when incorporated with other teaching styles would work very well, but not on its own. It is important to build a community within a classroom and for the students to be learning in many different ways. Technology is certainly a wonderful tool to help students learn to think critically and explore different avenues that may otherwise not be available to them. I really like the way that the teacher has given an assignment, taught it, and then has asked the students to begin exploring their topics. The combination of teaching styles is very productive as long as the students are mature enough to utilize the system.
