“We have been talking about blended learning and flipped classrooms for so long now. But the full implementation of those methodologies didn’t happen before COVID-19. This pandemic, somehow forced schools to work that way. I think schools will continue to fully implement blended learning and flipped classrooms once the pandemic is over,” said Marlon Dominguez.
