  • The concept of PLE is not a way to replace classroom learning, but to enhance it.

      This is the comment many teachers were hoping to read.  I understand the hesitation to give students control of the learning environment, but is it working by controlling them?

  • ‘We often say we want creativity and innovation – personalization – but every mechanism we use to measure it is through control and compliance.’

      This is a topic that has been discussed for years - But how do I grade the project??  I am glad I do not receive a grade for being the principal!
  • If we can’t engage our kids in ideas and explorations that require no technology, then we have surely lost our way.
  • One final caveat: 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. Even proponents of personal learning may sometimes forget that fact, but it’s a fact that was never learned by supporters of personalized learning.

      I like the fact that Alfie Kohn makes the reader think.  He is a word smith and must love kids!
