Blended is blurred. It is not saying either use of web 2.0 tools or not it is and-both. With this in mind new schools could and should consider the possibilities when creating learning spaces for the future. Starting with the vision of learning for the future must be paramount, which is why establishment boards should be selected for their ability to think in new ways. Otherwise we miss many opportunities.

While I agree that schools may also be about keeping students safe, allowing parents to work etc there is no longer a one size fits all model of education. Yet there are few alternatives currently offered other than traditional schooling. Some schools do have many different pathways for students but many still get caught in the structures of schooling rather than the needs of learners. Blending at its best involves thinking about student needs and working from there. Maybe if this was the starting point more students would be self managing?
