  • Not every program lends itself to choice

      This is something that is important to remember. It doesn't always have to be choice in the topic or the process of learning, it can be choice in the presentation.
  • So far the teachers have talked about choice in terms of curriculum, but choice can also, surprisingly, come into play in relation to discipline

      This is so true! I have started using this in my classes, "these are your options....you choose" Many times I have used, "Would you like me to help with the situation or do you think you can settle it yourselves?" Sometimes they do actually want my help to settle a conflict and other times they are able to do it on their own. This of course is for small disagreements, not big blow outs. I think it is important though to give them the chance to sort things out on their own if they feel they can do so. Most of the time they can and it is a good skill to practice.
  • They could be two ‘bad’ choices

      There are consequences for actions and the teacher is still in charge of those consequences, even when students are getting choice in the disciplinary action.

      How much instruction and time is involved in helping students navigate through setting up a PLE?

      My concern is about teacher PD and support for learning how to create and manage student's with LPE's. My school is making a big push for Personalized Learning, but we have had no instruction or PD as to how to implement it in our classrooms. I am taking this course because I happened across it while searching for classes for license renewal. So glad that I did! I am wondering if others are feeling frustrated by the lack of support and how to address it with administrations who keeping piling on initiatives for teachers?

      Maybe it will become more clear as I start to create my own Symbaloo, but I don't understand what a webmix is and it's relevance?

      I can see why this interface is appealing to kids. It is very much like a smart phone with the tiles and such. I personally find it cumbersome, but maybe that is my age showing. I will be interested to see, as I create my own Symbaloo, how many tiles can accumulate. For example, on my Smart phone, I find that I really don't ever look beyond my opening screen. I wonder if pages and pages of tiles is really useful or not?

  • She cautions educators who may be excited about the progressive educational implications for “personalized learning” to make sure everyone they work with is on the same page about what that phrase means.

      My school is always looking to be on the cutting edge, looking for the new shiny thing that will catch people's eyes. "Personalized Learning" is the flavor of the year this year. It is frustrating as an educator in this situation because we feel we are doing something new ALL THE TIME. Our administration has not been clear as to what it will look like for us and our kids yet. While, in theory, I think that personalized learning will have many benefits for kids, I worry about what else it is going to pile on to us teachers.
