Both academically rigorous and entertainingly instructive, his account makes a compelling case for institutional change—one classroom at a time. It is must reading for any teacher open to exploring new instructional methods that successfully blend the best of both traditional and online worlds by introducing learning flexibility while retaining and improving the efficacy of direct instructional contact.
