A little more on the difference between individualized instruction and personalized learning. This is a trend that isn't going away - nearly all of the major new releases in education technology is supporting personalized learning.
Christian Long spoke at TEDxOverlake last year, and had lunch with a few of us to talk about using design thinking in education. This is a nice description of the value of DT in schools, especially in project-based learning. It also touches on Prototype Camp, which a few of our students attended earlier this year.
Connected Learning is a big step from a model in which content forms the backbone of our planning. It seems like this is what our EE is trying to be. Should it play a bigger role in our vision of education?
A great description of the power of tech in the classroom. Unfortunately, I agree whole-heartedly with the conclusion the author draws toward the end: teachers often don't determine how the kids will spend their time on what's best, but what's most comfortable and familiar for the teacher.
You could spend a long time going through all of the resources here, but it is nice to have them all pulled into the same place. Anyone interested in project-based learning should take a few minutes to take a look.
