Nick Allen, a music teacher at Lamoille Union Middle School, 
 in Hyde Park VT, describes the shift to blended learning in his guitar class as a move from the hardest class he used to teach to the easiest and most effective in helping all students meet proficiencies.

According to Nick, it is controlled chaos.

He set up his classroom based on students’ multiple learning needs and learning preferences.  “Self-paced doesn’t mean independent learning necessarily. Sometimes it’s an opportunity for students to work in collaborative groups with people that they maybe have not worked with before. It’s a perfect time for me to have one-to-one time or small group time with every single student in my classroom.”
