  • 13 Great Twitter Chats Every Educator Should Check Out

  • 2. It's okay to lurk (which means to follow the discussion, but not participate) at first. Lurking is learning! At the same time, don't be afraid to jump into the conversation
  • 3. When participating in a chat, don't forget to include the chat hashtag, prefaced by the # sign, or else chat participants will miss your Tweets
  • 4. Some chats move very quickly and it can be difficult to keep with all the chatter
  • . Often, a link to the archive will be shared at the end of the chat. Or, just do a Google search for the chat hashtag and the word "archives." For example, a search for "edchat archives" brings you quickly to the #edchat archive at edchat.pbworks.com. 
  • 5. Participating in Twitter chats is a great way to build your Personal Learning Network. Twitter chats attract passionate educators who are dedicated to lifelong learning, improving their professional practice, and sharing resources with others

  • #satchat: Fascinating discussions about education and leadership are held on Saturday mornings from 7:30 to 8:30 am Eastern Time.

What Do We Really Mean When We Say 'Personalized Learning'? | MindShift | KQED News - 0 views

personalized learning learning vs. teaching pedagogy

shared by Derek Doucet on 22 Oct 15 - No Cached
  • The idea of personalized learning is seductive – it implies moving away from the industrialized form of education that pumps out cookie-cutter students with the same knowledge and skills.
  • Dozens of teachers agreed that a truly personalized learning experience requires student choice, is individualized, meaningful and resource rich.
  • This kind of learning allows students to work at their own pace and level, meets the individual needs of students, and perhaps most importantly, is not a one-size fits all model.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Technology was strikingly absent from these conversations. Instead, the common view of personalization focused on giving agency for learning to the student and valuing each individual in a classroom.
  • We often say we want creativity and innovation – personalization – but every mechanism we use to measure it is through control and compliance,
  • She cautions educators who may be excited about the progressive educational implications for “personalized learning” to make sure everyone they work with is on the same page about what that phrase means.

The inconvenient truth about personalized learning | Christensen Institute - 0 views

  • Personalized learning is quickly gaining steam among educators, philanthropists, and policymakers. The promise of a personalized education system is enormous: we are witnessing an era when new school models and structures, often supported by technology, can tailor learning experiences to each student and allow students more choice in how they access and navigate those experiences.
  • But we’ve found that amidst the enthusiasm for personalized learning models, there’s a less talked-about aspect of the education system that will need to shift to make these models viable: education research.
  • In a new white paper out this week, “A blueprint for breakthroughs,” Michael Horn and I argue that simply asking what works stops short of the real question at the heart of a truly personalized system: what works, for which students, in what circumstances?

    It's though provoking look at personalized learning. I think that studies can definitely be pushed because if you're assessing students in a standardized way - then that's an issue in and of itself.

    Amazing. I have been trying really hard to write my reports carefully and focussed on fostering a growth mindset. Not easy because I so many "go to" phrases that fix the mindset.
