Disruption in computing
Disruption = affordability, accessibility Today • Toyota • Wal-Mart • Community colleges • Dell • Southwest Airlines • Fidelity • Canon • Microsoft • Oracle • Cingular • Apple iPod
Yesterday • GM • Dept. Stores • State universities • Digital Eqpt. • Delta • JP Morgan • Xerox • IBM • Cullinet • AT&T • Sony DiskMan
Tomorrow • Chery • Internet retail • Online universities • Smart phones • Air taxis • ETFs • Zink • Linux • Salesforce.com • Skype • Smart phones
Prime examples of nonconsumption • Credit recovery • Drop outs • AP/advanced courses • Scheduling conflicts • Home-schooled and homebound students • Small, rural, urban schools • Unit recovery • Disaster preparedness • Tutoring
• Professional development • Pre-K • After school • In the home • Incarcerated youth • In-school suspension • School bus commute • Summer school • Teacher absenteeism • Migrant worker families
Online learning gaining adoption
Definition of blended learning
At least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar place away from home
A formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online delivery of instruction and
content with some element of student control over time, place, path and/or pace

Rotation
• Operational efficiencies
• Student outcomes
• Teacher satisfaction
Flex
Every district should pilot at least one Flex or Individual Rotation prototype school/program
Self-Blend
• Offers students a full menu of courses
• Some students thrive in virtual settings
• Dropout and credit recovery, AP, electives
Enriched Virtual
• It’s virtual school, PLUS
• Flexibilities around time, place, path, and pace
