  • A PLE is the method students use to organize their self-directed online learning, including the tools they employ to gather information, conduct research, and present their findings

      I love the idea of this. I have a hard time believing that all of our students will buy into it. I see some students really enjoying the freedom and ability to do what they want when they want to. I see others who won't put forth the effort. I know that - like most things - the students will get out what they put into their learning, but how do we force the issue with those that don't want to? I know that in our current system we have these issues too. Do we drop the minimum standards and allow students who want to, to graduate and get jobs at age 14, 15, 16? We used to do that, even just 50 years ago it was a viable solution - is it still?
  • Teachers, she explains, are no longer the primary or even the best source of information available to students, and our work must increasingly attend to supporting students in developing their skills and motivations for becoming themselves networked and sophisticated online learners

      Are we pushing ourselves out of a job? What will be the educational requirement for someone who 'just' needs to motivate and support students? I know lots of people who are better at that than I am. I know my content, but if they (the students) can find it (the knowledge) somewhere else, why would a district keep me around with my high dollar salary? (insert eye roll emoji)

  • 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.

      Huh. This to me says we should be doing away with the idea of CORE.... I realize why it was implemented, however... I know that many students' brains are not ready for Algebra in 6th, 7th, 8th, even 9th grade - so they really struggle and get frustrated and give up in math.
  • “That has nothing to do with the person sitting in front of you

      Ugh. This phrase has no place in education. And yet - we have this attitude all of the time. By 'we' I mean those who legislate our requirements and create the standardized tests used to measure.

Four reasons to seriously worry about 'personalized learning' - The Washington Post - 0 views

  • in the best student-centered, project-based education, kids spend much of their time learning with and from one another. Thus, while making sense of ideas is surely personal, it is not exclusively individual because it involves collaboration and takes place in a community

      I love this! I would love to have classes where we could just get together and learn all the cool stuff about triangles. Where I didn't have to grade anything, where students could explore and learn as they wished. I don't think I could pull this off right now though - too many students have the ingrained question "is this worth points in my grade?" when it comes to things like this.

Personalizing flipped engagement | SmartBrief - 0 views

  • You want to really engage kids? Give them opportunities to learn personally, to create their own texts and courses of study, and to pursue that learning with others in and out of the classroom who share a passion.

      So, it sounds to me like we need to revert back to education as it was in the 1800's - before we decided to make all of our citizens factory workers. We need to allow students to follow their passions - and teachers too. Find someone who loves what you love and learn from them.

What Do We Really Mean When We Say 'Personalized Learning'? | KQED - 1 views

  • it is clear that all children don’t learn the same way and personalization seems to honor those differences

      Finally!! Someone at last admits that education isn't a one-size fits all prospect! Now - can we do away with CORE?

  • • Is knowledgeable and has the ability to use computer programs required in online education to improve learning and teaching, including course management software (CMS) and synchronous/asynchronous communication tools (chat, email, web 2.0, videoconferencing, webinar, whiteboard, etc.) (SREB B.3, Varvel III.B)

      Whew! Not yet - but I am working on it. I am fairly tech savvy, but sometimes the amount of computer work needed is overwhelming and I just get tired of sitting. I love being able to interact with my students - I learn more about them from the face to face, and it is tougher to get to know them when we are online.

      This is always good for me - especially in my ICCC classes. I want to know how effective I have been. I want that student feedback - even if it is 'bad' - that way I know what I need to improve and/or work on for the next time I teach that course.

  • • Creates a learning community that encourages collaboration and interaction, including student-teacher, student-student, and student-content (SREB D.2, Varvel VII.B, ITS 6.a)

      This is a huge challenge - especially for asynchronous learning. In my ICCC class, it is a little easier, but we sometimes still struggle due to lag time or people's wifi accessibility issues.

      I think this is really important - if you don't know what it feels like from the other side of the screen, you won't know what issues you should be worrying about.
