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

  • 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.

      This is AMAZING!!
  • Google Drive empowers teachers as they use Google Docs to provide real time feedback. It also helps students engage in discourse via Google Moderator, and provides project participants a platform for brainstorming remotely on Google Hangouts. But Google Drive’s power doesn’t lie solely in its own features. In fact, it is Drive’s integration with third party apps that really empower student collaboration.

    Found this archived CEM event - supposed to be a month of blogging but there are only a few entries - interesting ones though - glad to have background knowledge from Jane McGonagal's TED talks on how gaming can change the world and save a life.
