  • Adaptive learning technologies are potentially transformative in that they may be able to change the economics of tutoring.

      The great thing is that I have realized through this class is that there are so many types of "transformative" adaptive learning technologies out there with tutors and coaches!
  • In other words, all adaptive software tries to mimic some aspect of what a good teacher does, given that every student has individual needs.

      This reminds me of the CSM Learn website I decided to investigate. It is an awesome way to mimic and give students what they need when they need it and assess their learning, problem solving skills and even their perseverance/frustration level.

  • the Class Learning Snapshot that guides what a teacher anticipates their learners strengths, challenges, aptitudes, interests, preferences, and needs. We introduce the Personal Learner Profile.

      When reading this I agree and truly believe this is essential, however with a large group (90+) students how do you get the time to spend on learning every student's PLP? This seems overwhelming...
  • Using the Class Learning Snapshot (CLS), we guide you in how to select and integrate tools, apps, and resources to universally-design instruction and learning strategies. Considering the learners in your CLS, you will outline the learning strategies and skills in the lesson along with the skills from NETS (National Educational Technology Standards) for Students to create a Class Learning Toolkit (CLT). Personal Learner Profiles (PLP) of two learners will be used to demonstrate how to develop a Personal Learning Backpack (PLB) that will support the learners in achieving their learning goals in this lesson.

      I have had to re-read this paragraph over about 5 different times. First because it is overwhelming to read how many abbreviated terms there are, remembering what they are and then really trying to understand them. Am I the only one feeling this way?
  • Although her natural inclination is “to help my students when they’re stumped or confused, I need constantly to remind myself that when I supply an answer or even suggest a method for finding an answer, I’m not truly helping.” In terms of the tenets of inquiry-based instruction, she explains, when she answers students’ questions straightforwardly instead of asking questions to help the students find the answers themselves, she’s actually interfering with the learning process.

      This whole thinking is exactly how I feel when students need or want help. I want to help and I need to remember that I need for them to help themselves by also asking a question to help their learning process. I also have an old mindset though of feeling like I've let my student/class down by not helping.

  • Thinking Maps, she explains, help students gain control of the process by offering them eight distinct ways to organize their inquiries — a circle map for defining in context, for example, or a bubble map for describing with adjectives, etc.

      I looked into these Thinking Maps and I love them! So much that I would like to use them, however you have to go through a whole school process. Does anyone know how to get these without doing that?
  • “helping children gain active control over the process of thinking so they learn how to learn, which will serve them well throughout their lives.”

      Powerful statement that I need to continue to repeat to myself in order to best serve students and even my children at home as well.

      What a genius way to think of organizing the classroom! Each "Zone" has a clear meaning so students know exactly where they can be successful in their learning. Are their labels with their meaning at each of these zones so kids are able to remember it's purpose?

      This visual aid helps me to better understand the areas of the classroom. I also agree should be able to move freely around the room. My biggest question or may fear is what do you do for the students who do not stay on task or is there some sort of consequence if this is the case?

      When reading point 2 and how students are able to understand what types of social situations lead best to learning since the point that adults have also not mastered this is such a great point! The reality that this is how we learn best is 100% true, but the mentality of teachers is that you DO NOT give students this time because that seems like students would waste time and not complete their assignment or project.

  • 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.

      When I read this all educators in who are working collaboratively with need to "make sure everyone they work with is on the same page about what each phrase means". Time and time again you don't work together and this is where gaps or "things don't come together".
  • 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.

      I'm shocked that there was no conversation about technology within this conference, however I know the focus should be meeting the needs of all students, student choice, rich/meaningful "personalized" learning. Why no discussions about integration of technology?
  • in order to navigate the system of accountability in the U.S. educational system, many school district leaders require public school educators to teach a specific curriculum that will be evaluated on standardized tests, while at the same time telling teachers to be innovative and creative within their classrooms.

      When I think to my going to be new school building, I think of all the state testing required curriculum and so this paragraph hits home. How can you meet the demands of the system yet create a new system of innovation and student centered learning?

  • We don’t need personalization as much as we need to promote and give opportunities for our kids to do personal learning. And while they come from the same root, those two words are vastly different. “Personalized” learning is something that we do to kids; “personal” learning is something they do for themselves.

      I think the key point here whether "personalization" or "personal" you are allowing students to learn to do for themselves. Forming habits that last through their life. Creating opportunities through exploration, goal setting, and problem solving. Again tech is not a main focus, but can enhance.
