curriculum redesign high school budget electronic textbooks learning education edtech Resources

  • Since they couldn't afford new textbooks, Byron High's math and science teachers offered to donate time to sift through the best free resources and create virtual textbooks. The kids would have access to the lessons 24/7 and the department would have lessons that met the new state standards.
  • In addition to virtual textbooks, why not add on YouTube videos of individual lessons? Kids would still have normal classroom instruction, but now they'd be able to rewind and fast-forward their teacher. No matter what time they did their homework, the teacher would be there to help them brush up on the day's lesson.
  • With this award, Byron Senior High School made a 180-degree turn from being so desperate they couldn't afford textbooks to having a wealth of high tech resources they can share with the entire Byron school system

    Great tool for teachers to find aligned resources. What looks like a Rubik's Cube and teachers find Common Core classroom resources? INFOhio's IMatrix. This website helps educators design inquiry-based instruction that aligns to content standards of the four core curriculum areas: English language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. By searching the matrix by standard or by subject area and grade, educators can see how skills are scaffolded for students, find interdisciplinary connections and link to resources to teach those skills. Grades 6-8 are available now. Grades K-5 will be added by February, with grades 9-12 to follow later in 2013.

  • Discovery Education has given digital textbooks another jolt with the release of its own high school science offering—and a middle school social studies product as well.
  • Discovery Education’s new “Techbooks” expand on an instructional delivery model that Discovery launched for K-8 science in 2010. Much more than just digitized versions of static textbooks, the Techbooks include videos, embedded assessments, and other interactive features that leverage the power of the internet, the company says.
  • Discovery’s Techbook series is cloud-based, meaning students can access the materials from wherever they have an internet connection; the company says that’s because not all school districts have the funds to give every student his or her own device. The Techbooks are also platform-agnostic to work with whatever hardware a district or student might have—iPads, tablets, mobile devices, laptops, or desktops.

  • the Techbooks give teachers the opportunity to incorporate current issues into their curriculum. The resources also include an assessment component that measures students’ progress and recommends individualized resources.

  • What is Personalized Learning? ED describes Personalized Learning as: Adjusting the pace of instruction so that instruction is more individualized. Adjusting the learning approach so that instruction is differentiated. Leveraging student interests and experiences so that learning is more... personalized.
  • The traditional teaching model treats all learners the same despite unique needs and strengths. We need a new educational model that takes classroom learning beyond a one-size fits-all mentality. Personalized Learning is not about technology, but technology helps.
  • technology empowers personalized learning from 1:1 computing, use of handheld devices, classroom response systems, and learning management systems.

  • More than Technology Required
  • This focus on Personalized Learning is exciting because we've combined the emphasis on individual needs and empowered this approach with the power of technology.
  • one should hope that educational leaders will not view the purchasing of devices as providing quick and easy solutions. More importantly, Personal Learning demands a shift in how lessons are designed, which requires certain levels of knowledge and skillsets.
  • Personalized Learning, like all other models of instruction that attempt to introduce innovation in schools, is about professional development and support.
  • Personalized Learning requires that teachers should: 1) Know their students: Teachers should know their students ' interests, know their learning styles, and know their ability levels.
  • 2) Know their pedagogy and content: Teachers should be able to implement multiple paths to knowledge- having a variety of ways to help a diverse group of students learn rigorous standards.
  • Simply giving a teacher an iPad will not guarantee this level of expertise.
  • 3) Manage student learning: As teachers will now have classrooms where multiple activities may be occurring at the same time, this requires a level of classroom management, data keeping, and use of a variety of assessments.
  • 4) Access available resources
  • In this regard, district and schools will have to provide curriculum support and ensure that all teachers have the resources to focus on student learning.
  • Personal Learning has exciting potential for both the student and the teacher.
  • with technology and our information-on-demand society creating opportunities for more students to learn academics outside of school through opportunities such as through Udemy, Khan Academy, and LearnZillion, perhaps this change is inevitable.
