      This activity is very engaging. It assists with the "buy-in" that is necessary for student learning. I like how she poses questions in such a way that the students begin to "wonder" about the tasks as well.
  • Throughout the remainder of the unit, they theorize, test, analyze, experiment, and share and review results at various work stations Ms. Moore establishes in the classroom

      What is most exciting here is that the students theorize, test, analyze, experiment, and share result without realizing it. This is not a lecture course where students are listening, taking notes, and memorizing all of these scientific methods. Since the students are "doing science" they are more likely to remember this scientific process!
  • She sets up math and literacy centers in her classroom where students play games, such as a math-oriented Go Fish, a card game that requires students to apply their knowledge of place values

      I have set up a "math with a partner" rotation during my math block. The students LOVE it! It is structured and students are taught how to play (being fair, taking turns, etc.). I think that one reason games are so engaging is because very few play board games or card games with their families at home. This is a new experience for them. Most importantly they are learning and practicing what they have learning without even knowing it!

      These are great tips. As I read through the articles I was thinking; how can I get to know 24 students (their interests, learning styles, etc.) in a way that is efficient. I enjoyed reading these tips. These 5 minute and 5 day activities could be used at the beginning of the school year to help determine some ways to differentiate in the classroom.

teacher and networked student

  • Students now have access to desktop computers, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and game systems that connect them to free online tools that are always available.

      This is a shift in mindset for many teachers. Students have a a great resource (their cellphone) however, teachers/school do not allow students to use their phones. This would also require a certain amount of trust between the students and teacher.
  • Students engaging in networked learning have to learn to be more self-directed than in the typical classroom

      Some students have a difficult time being self-directed. Is it difficult for teachers to know when to step in and when to step back?

      This is my "ah-ha" moment. As I began reading about Symbaloo, I was questioning the ways students would use this resource. I think it is a great and creative way to make an eportfolio.

      I recently had a conversation with an educator that stated we should teach compliance because that is what will be expected in the workplace. Does personalization in the classroom hinder the reality of some jobs (labor jobs, military, etc.)?
  • Personalization promises better student achievement and, I believe, a more effective delivery method than any one teacher with 25 or 30 students in a classroom can compete with

      This is my "ah-ha" moment. What teacher doesn't want better student achievement? At the least, teachers should be willing to explore and dabble in personalization.
  • tasks have been personalized for kids, not created by them

      I feel like this is where I am at now. I think that it is hard for educators to give over some of that control to the students.

  • A term like “mass customized learning,” meanwhile, may sound Orwellian but it’s not really an oxymoron because what’s customized is mass-produced – which is to say, standardized. Authentic personal learning isn’t
