In this episode of the Breakout with Newt Gingrich podcast, Newt interviews Don Soifer, co-founder and Executive Vice President of the Lexington Institute in order to discuss blended learning. Blended learning integrates online learning with the traditional classroom model of direct exchange between the teacher and student. Students spend part of their day using online programing as a means to learn, while also working with their teacher in order to better understand the material. Teachers can use the information from a student’s online experience in order to personalize the learning program for that particular student. With our public education system currently facing difficult circumstances, especially in our nation’s largest cities, blended learning offers the opportunity to assist hard-working teachers to create a higher quality experience for their students.
