 * One benefit of blended learning is that it helps students recover the credits they need to graduate. Many schools are offering online learning for those who need these credits and they make the space in their building for students to take these online courses.


 * Blended learning helps schools compete for students who are getting their educational needs met through other programs. Three million students opted out of traditional schools in 2009. Schools need attendance to survive.


 * "A more consistent and personalized pedagogy that allows each student to work at her own pace and helps each child feel and be successful at school (Horn & Staker)


 * Technology that allows students to truly customize their learning experience by providing them the ability to learn in their own style, and at their own pace.


 * "New digital learning technologies are interactive, adaptive, and provide real-time data that educators can use to immediately tailor instruction to students who might need extra attention or more time with a given concept." (Devaney, 2012).


 * Instantaneous feedback: When students take formative assessments, teachers are able to see and react to the date in real-time, providing on-the-spot feedback when necessary.
