The way the 1st graders hurtle toward their computer workstations, you’d think they were headed out to recess.
It’s an unseasonably warm winter morning in San Jose, California, and the two dozen students at Rocketship Mateo Sheedy Elementary School get situated quickly in the computer lab, donning headphones and peering into monitors displaying their names. The kindergartners follow a moment later, until 43 seats are filled. The effect is of a miniature, and improbably enthusiastic, call center.
the larger plan for the school surrounding it—has probably done more than any other single place to create enthusiasm for “hybrid schools.” Such schools combine “face-to-face” education in a specific place (what used to be called “school”) with online instruction. (Rocketship uses the term “hybrid,” rather than the increasingly prevalent term “blended learning,” because the computers are not actually “blended” with face-to-face instruction in the same classroom.) It’s a sign of how young the hybrid and blended field is that this school at the epicenter hails all the way back to 2007. Rocketship Education, a small but burgeoning network of charter schools that serves an overwhelmingly low-income immigrant community in San Jose, has made a name through its, forgive the phrase, high-flying student performance. Two of its three schools are old enough to have test scores. They rank among the 15 top-performing high-poverty schools statewide, and the site that opened in 2009 was the number-one first-year school in the state in the high-poverty category. But what positions Rocketship on the cutting edge of school reform is its vision for how technology will integrate with, and change, the structure of the school. (Disclosure: Our firm, NewSchools Venture Fund, is a significant investor in the work of Rocketship and of several other organizations mentioned in this article.)

With the digitalization and increase in the usage of the internet, there has been a change in the type of education system. Internet and the use of the sources available in it are one of the main sources of getting all the required study material. Students now opt for studying mainly through the internet. It is much accessible as compared to the traditional form of learning. There is no limitation or boundary with respect to the time, place of content about learning in this process. It is true that in the coming future the way of studying and learning would not include the traditional student and teachers but would be basically internet oriented. Books and teachers stand on the verge of being replaced with the sources available on the internet. There are platforms on the internet too which gives opportunities to both the learners and the instructors.
