Space for All: Middle Level Students in Blended Learning Environments

Blended learning is a type of instruction delivered using Internet resources along with teacher small and whole group instruction in a school. It has been called a disruptive influence on the educational process in general. The author finds this to be true as reflected in three examples of interaction in that environment with students. In these examples, the author learned to make space that suited students' needs, both on and offline. By transgressing spaces, it was possible to achieve a variety of goals, including the development of writing ability, honing of analytical skills, and participation in activities that promote the mastery of social studies content.
