Blended Learning

On twitter, I found an article about different studies regarding Blended Learning. At first, I was confused because I had never heard the term "Blended Learning," but it is actually very simple. Blended Learning is a teaching method that uses, at least in part, technology and allows the student to move at their own pace. This gives students control of how quickly or slowly they learn information. The article aimed to expose teachers to different studies that could further explain the effective, or ineffectiveness of Blended Learning. I personally think that technology is a must in this day and age but I wonder if allowing students to move more slowly inhibits them to not get work done. I do think classrooms should be modified to allow students appropriate time to learn (which is hard with standardized testing) but I do not know where the line must be drawn.
