The rise of blended learning has focused attention in US schools on tailoring the instructional environment to the individual needs, skills, and interests of each student. Although technology has been a powerful tool in making helping teachers customize education for each student, school models such as Montessori have been personalizing instruction for decades. This panel will explore strategies and lessons that we can learn from both of these models. It will also consider how to design blended learning environments that have rich peer engagement and peer learning opportunities.
