PL Newsletter - 2013 is "The Year of the Learner"

PL Newsletter - 2013 is "The Year of the Learner" | Personalize Learning (#plearnchat) | Scoop.it

We agree with George Couros and Will Richardson that 2013 will be the "Year of the Learner." We are seeing a big culture shift around the world to personalize learning for all learners. When learners are given a greater voice in how they learn, they are more motivated and engaged in their learning. When learners have choices in how they prefer to access and engage with content, and then express what they know, they take ownership of their learning. We encourage you to take one action this "Year of the Learner" by encouraging learner voice and choice.

Culture Shift: When the Learner Owns the Learning

Culture Shift: When the Learner Owns the Learning | Personalize Learning (#plearnchat) | Scoop.it
It is not about learner-centered instruction; it is about the learner owning their learning.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

"When the learning starts with the learner, the learner takes responsibility for their learning. The report states that the learner owns their learning, but does not provide evidence how this happens. The teacher, data, and technology guides the learning in the model provided in the report -- not the learner."

To own your learning you must have an internal locus of control. This means that you understand how you learn and why you want to learn a topic. You actively seek to master ways to expand your learning.and do not depend on anyone. You have faith in your abilities; you are committed, confident with no belief in fate or luck.
