School budgets are finite. The demands on them are not. When administrators and procurement teams are evaluating classroom redesigns, the question is never whether blended learning is worth investing in — research consistently says it is — but how to implement it in a way that delivers lasting instructional value without overextending limited funds.

In April 2020, when schools across the country had been closed for weeks and no one knew when they would reopen, MooreCo published a list of predictions about what classrooms would look like when students came back. Five years later, those predictions have been tested against reality — and the results are instructive.
