You will use your Class Learning Snapshot to determine the physical redesign of your classroom based on different examples of learning zones and flexible learning spaces

  I was just curious as to how often teachers have to redesign their classroom. Do they do it at the beginning of each year only? Or is it necessary to update personal learning profiles AND redesign many times throughout the year?

I may ‘correct’ these misconceptions and later the students may even be able to answer test questions on the subject properly.” But they may not — and, she contends, frequently do not — give up those misconceptions

  This statement was an "aha" for me. It makes me wonder about my own teaching and how often students have given me the correct answer, when questioned or on a test, and whether or not they actually believe it!

Check for understanding
- kbolinger on 30 Jul 16
  
  In the past couple of years I have been trying to do more quick checks for understanding (with a variety of short formative assessment) and it has been so simple and effective! It helps me plan lessons that are tailored to student needs.

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
- kbolinger on 16 Jul 16
  
  It is important to remember that, while many schools are working in a 1:1 environment, there are still many other schools that have limited access to technology. I would imagine that personalized learning would be much less challenging when there is ample access to technology, as well as professional development for teachers.

it is clear that all children don’t learn the same way and personalization seems to honor those differences
- kbolinger on 13 Jul 16
  
  I agree. Personalization seems to be an almost perfect answer to addressing all of the different needs, learning styles, and achievement levels in our classrooms today. I wonder if this approach will become the norm for schools, and, if so, how long will it take for schools to completely adopt this model.

Personalization is often used in the ed-tech community to describe a student moving through a prescribed set of activities at his own pace
- kbolinger on 13 Jul 16
  
  I feel much more knowledgeable about Personalized Learning today than I did a week ago. If someone would have asked me then if an adaptive learning or a computerized program that is tailored to a student's level and progresses them at their own pace is personalized learning, I surely would have said, "Yes!" I have now come to realize that there are many Personalized Learning components that are missing with just an adaptive learning program. Where is the student choice or goal setting? What if a computer is not that student's preferred learning method?
