  • 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.

  • Without adjusting classroom instruction to take full advantage of a one-to-one classroom, many of these schools are just doing the “same old thing” but using more expensive tools to do so. And the operative word here may be “expensive” too.
  • Despite the rush to adopt Apple devices, it’s still not easy to sync them simultaneously to one administrative account, nor is it possible to blend a school’s iTunes account with a student’s school account with her or his personal account.
  • The promise of a personalized device was the “big reveal” at the end of today’s Apple event, when the company unveiled its plans to integrate the Siri personal assistant technology into its iPhones. Siri allows users to now control many aspects of their iPhones with their voices, including asking research questions (among its resources are Wikipedia and WolframAlpha) and listening to, dictating and transcribing messages.
