Online Classes, Blended Learning,
and the Myths & Metaphors of Disruptive Innovation
Last month, Clayton Christensen of the Harvard Business School released a new report, asking the question, “Is K-12 Blended Learning Disruptive?” Since its publishing, the report has garnered mixed responses from those in the Ed Tech community, some in support and others in opposition.

However, before beginning, a closer examination of Christensen’s work should be made.
