      When I heard adaptive learning described as a "tutor" I automatically thought of Khan Academy. This resource is a tutor designed to help students of all ages in math. The content based resource helps ensure students get an overview of concepts as well as opportunities to practice skills and this can be altered based on student performance.
  • Don’t be content to merely argue that you can’t be replaced by a machine. That’s a losing strategy. The winning strategy is to prove it.

      It is discouraging to realize that there are people out there who feel "machines are replacing" teachers, teaching or basic jobs. As a teacher, I feel it is my job to expose my students to tools that will benefit them and their education. In the 21st century, this means they are using adaptive learning tools to help them do things that otherwise couldn't be done or couldn't be done as efficiently. I think this last statement was the most powerful. We can not sit back and expect that telling people these tools are beneficial will work.. we must continue to find the best uses for them and prove that they do.

      This made me think of our last forum post when we discussed the difference between "personalized and differentiation". This is what I was referring to when I said using them interchangeably doesn't necessarily work. It might... but often time personalized means student choice based and out of the ordinary.
  • For many educators that’s not the true meaning of “personalized learning.”

      If educators don't have the "true meaning" of personalized learning... is there a correct way of implementing into the classroom? Are implementation expectations meant to be just as flexible as the concept itself?
