Implementation in a Secondary Classroom (Articles) - 1 views

  • choice can also, surprisingly, come into play in relation to discipline
    • nthurm
       
      I like this idea, and would like to explore it further!
  • rubric,
    • nthurm
       
      Rubrics and checklists are an important part of personalized learning! They are mentioned time and time again.
  • You really have to be on top of things to allow the students choice
    • nthurm
       
      I can see this because without a clear plan, the classroom would be mass chaos! This idea would make a lot of teachers uncomfortable, but I like the idea of letting the kids being as involved as possible in the lesson- they retain more that way.

  • my students acknowledge that they feel better prepared for college or jobs because of our use of collaborative technology.
    • nthurm
       
      Goal! I like this statement very much.
  • students who appear unmotivated and apathetic
    • nthurm
       
      And this is where problem behavior begins.
  • make their own decisions
    • nthurm
       
      I think with making choices comes the responsibility of teaching the students what making good choices sounds like and looks like too. Expectations must be presented and enforced for this to work.
  • project portfolio
    • nthurm
       
      This is something I'd like to do more exploring with. I like the idea of showcasing your learning instead of a transcript of grades.

  • Students can extend their learning into questions to parents, email conversations, Facebook posts or even twitter hashtags.
    • nthurm
       
      Great ideas for book sharing instead of journaling! This helps in reference to my PLP for this course.
  • set usage parameters
  • so that they can collaborate and discover information
    • nthurm
       
      LOVE this idea for collaboration and opportunity to teach each other!

  • she explains, are no longer the primary or even the best source of information available to students
    • nthurm
       
      This is scary and exciting all at once! I can't help but wonder what teachers who have been in the trade for 25+ years must think about this.
  • webmixes
    • nthurm
       
      I hope I get a better idea of what a "webmix" is as I start the tour of Symbaloo; can't find a definition so I'm guessing it is a term used with this database.
  • select group of individuals (via email).
    • nthurm
       
      This would be good for class sharing that you don't necessarily want others to have access to.

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

  • industrialized form of education that pumps out cookie-cutter students
    • nthurm
       
      These words used here could easily offend someone who has been in education, those who have created good lessons with ways to reach various children: "industrialized," "pumps out," and "cookie-cutter students." Not a great idea at the beginning of an article if you wish for veteran teachers to read and learn from ideas presented about personalized learning - might seem like another buzz term because there have been a lot of them throughout the years!
  • tware

      This is a problem in itself when there is no funding to do this!
  • “’Personalized’ learning is something that we do to kids; ‘personal’ learning is something they do for themselves.”[4]

  • “It’s so much cheaper to buy a new computer than to pay a teacher’s salary year after year.”[11]
    • nthurm
       
      This is what I fear for the future of education! Going one-to-one and seeing the push for technology in lesson planning worries me that education is not going to need the person in the future!
