I've been terrified of the hybrid models, feeling like they tie our hands from using the best approaches of either face-to-face or online by blending the two in the same class.

This awesome thread (read up & down) by @Jessifer is putting my mind at ease. Wonderful ideas here.... https://twitter.com/Jessifer/status/1263579432104587271

As is the whole approach that underpins it, which is - build the core of the class online and asynchronous, have face-to-face be the extra/flair.

Also wishing this workbook by @Katie__Linder I bought a while back wasn't sitting in my buttoned-up office. https://www.bcdworkbook.com/ 

And to be clear - I'm not against blended in general, think it can be powerful. Just terrified of the proposals where some students are entirely online and some students are entirely face-to-face.
