    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.

  • 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.

      need to figure out how to include kids without internet access. Can videos be downloaded and viewed in school library during study hall? saved to teacher web site and student access at public library?
  • But at school, it was worksheet after worksheet, even if I had already mastered a concept.
  • The kids who already get something are bored, the kids who are trailing behind feel lost and embarrassed. And the middle third isn’t having such a great time, either
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • the Khan Academy, it’s a free website that offers a large library of startlingly clear mini-lectures, combined with software that generates exercises, feedback, and encouragement in the form of points and badges inspired by the video game world.
  • Khan offers a new way to teach mathematics for a country badly in need of inspiration
  • we may finally begin to see ways technology can contribute in the classroom
