I don't see hybrid school. I attended Pacific Coast High School in Tustin, CA, a public school college prep high school that has a few classes on campus, a lot online and some labs. It was a great experience and prepared me so well for college. And it was free. I had time to explore other interests outside of my schoolwork and I started several businesses while still in high school.

I heard something the other day called Challenge Based Learning in association with a STEM institute. I wonder if this is also ed tech lingo or if it is associated with a more general educational experience.

I wouldn't define Instructional Technology this way at all. This is the definition of "Educational Technology," in fact. I agree with wikipedia: "instructional technology is "the theory and practice of design, development, utilization, management, and evaluation of processes and resources for learning," http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructional_technology
