Implementation in a Secondary Classroom (Articles) - 1 views

  • personalized teaching is not an isolated, or isolating, phenomenon
    • julie_carroll
       
      I'm glad to read this; as I head in to a PBL classroom this fall, I wouldn't want to think of learning (personalization) as 115 individual students doing their own thing. This scenario confirms for me what I've know from years of teaching: we all learn more when we learn together.
  • assess their effects, to adjust the approach, and time to assess again”
    • julie_carroll
       
      A good personal reminder: sometimes I'm moving so fast I forget to assess not only student data, but instructional practices, and a broader sense of engagement and accomplishment. I'm lucky I will have several "critical friends" as NTN calls them to do this assessment with me.
  • student-centered learning environment in which teachers become facilitators, mentors, and coaches, and students become active learners, engaged in cooperative learning, peer tutoring, role-playing, labs, and debates. Movement, imagery, hands-on activity and social interaction become basic instructional strategies.

      I look forward to this model: sound energy-GIVING rather than energy-draining. Also, I'm inspired everyday by my students; I think a PL environment will enhance the levels of inspiration as our students live up to their own potentials and motivations, creating genuine self-worth.

  • 4WH framework

      This is a helpful framework. Another concept this article brings up is "empowerment." Many 9th graders are wanting to assert their independence or more power - structured choices over their academic life seems like a safe and effective way to give them that power (maybe reducing their desire to try more risky behaviors to assert their independence or control???)
  • It is the purposeful design of instruction to combine face-to-face teaching, technology-assisted instruction and collaboration to leverage each student’s learning style and interests for deeper learning.
    • julie_carroll
       
      Yay! "Face to face" is first - I never want to forget that part of learning (learning from and with one other in person).

PLE Articles - 2 views

  • chart
    • julie_carroll
       
      Ah ha! I was just wondering whether NTN's "Echo" system would be my students' PLE...nope. I'm curious to keep reading to see how Echo can blend with a PLE for my PBL students next year...

      Also...I'm saving these images throughout the class to my Pinterest Board for further reference!
  • social media platform
    • julie_carroll
       
      Could a Google Classroom or Google Hangout that students create be considered a PLE?
  • learner controlled
    • julie_carroll
       
      In this way, PLEs seem to mirror one defining component of PL: learned controlled. But, I would assume the "facilitator" (teacher) would also have access....

      Okay - I've never heard of Netvibes...I'll check it out as a possibility for my pbl students this fall.
  • the aggregato
    • julie_carroll
       
      catchy name: the aggregator!
  • A collection of resources related to a problem-based learning challenge
    • julie_carroll
       
      And here is the "fit" for New Tech...we will definitely be offering Symbaloo as a PLE option for our PBL students!

Ten Tips for Personalized Learning via Technology | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Immediate Feedback
    • julie_carroll
       
      Providing timely and helpful feedback has been a career-long struggle for me (especially as a high school writing teacher...those essays!) Kelly Gallagher's work on assessment and feedback has really helped me in my turning the feedback responsibilities back over to the students,which aids in more timely and authentic feedback. Now my challenge is using data to drive further personalization and instruction...so much to manage!!
  • Let Students Drive
    • julie_carroll
       
      I do this out of necessity! My high school students know so much more about technology than I do!

"Personalized" vs. "Personal" Learning - 0 views

  • but every mechanism we use to measure it is through control and compliance.’
    • julie_carroll
       
      We do function within a system...the question is how to negotiate that system to personalize for our students.
  • choice
    • julie_carroll
       
      Ah- now I understand that if the choice is created and given by the teacher, it might not be personalization. Our district uses E 20/20 in some extreme cases and it generally does NOT meet any student's learning needs.

  • changing just about everything
    • julie_carroll
       
      Makes me think of the directive "we can no longer teach what kids can simply Google." So, learning becomes more inquiry-based and connected to real-life purposes.
  • drive their own education
    • julie_carroll
       
      For me it keeps coming back to this: who drives the learning - the teacher or the student?
  • You’re “free to expand as a standardized individual.”[
    • julie_carroll
       
      Ha! We have the "individual vs. society" discussion in my class each year and many students notice the irony of trying to be an individual by doing something that conforms to someone else's norms (i.e. dying your hair blue...like millions of other teens trying to be individuals is a classic 9th grader example).
  • caring teacher who knows each child we
    • julie_carroll
       
      Yes! The most important "method" of teaching.
  • not created by them
  • construction of meaning
  • learning with and from one another.
  • collaboration and takes place in a community.
    • julie_carroll
       
      I am grateful to read this...my students report each year that some of their biggest "ah-ha" moments come from their peers. I know I learn so much each year from my students; there's no way I can be the "sage on the stage" when we're all in this learning thing together!
