  • It is a messier way to teach, though it takes more organization on the teacher’s part, not less. You really have to be on top of things to allow the students choice since now there is more than one “right” way of doing something in the classroom. And Julie Ison (the team’s mathematics teacher) adds, “You have to have a principal who understands that when he walks into a room and it’s not silent, it’s okay.

      I can very much see that this would be a far less traditional approach to teaching. For principals that have a very traditional view of education, it could make it difficult for teachers to try. 
  • “Giving choice is about empowering students. It makes them feel that they are part of the process, not powerless; that’s the kind of feeling that motivates everyone.”

      People (students are people also) always work harder and dig deeper when they are on the inside not on the outside being told what to do. 
  • Across the board, my students acknowledge that they feel better prepared for college or jobs because of our use of collaborative technology. I feel that I am on this blended learning journey with them, and I truly believe it has made us all more engaged in our work and more focused learners.

      The goal should really be to prepare students for a future career like the author stated. That is the type of environment they will be working in.

  • When you want to give students choice, it is often optimal to give them a limited number of options, but be as flexible as possible

      I think this would be one of the more difficult things to do. I would want to give choices and freedom but I wouldn't want it to be completely wide open.

  • PLEs place a large amount of responsibility on students and thus requires a high level of self-management and awareness.

      I wonder how you handle classes with a large range of student responsibility and awareness in regards of use of PLEs. I would think it would take a large amount of student training.
