Personalize Learning: Focus on the Learner Not Technology

Personalize Learning: Focus on the Learner Not Technology | Personalize Learning (#plearnchat) | Scoop.it
In a personalized learning environment, learners actively participate in their learning. They have a voice in what they are learning based on how they learn best. Learners have a choice in how they demonstrate what they know, what paths they take to learn, and provide evidence of their learning.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
In a personalized learning environment, the teacher is the guide on the learner's personal journey. When learners have choices to interact with the content and discuss what they watched, read, and learned, they are actively participating in learning. Encouraging learner voice and choice is the key difference to the other terms: differentiation and individualization. When learners have a voice in how they learn and a choice in how they engage with content and express what they know, they are more motivated to want to learn and own their learning.

The system needs to change from focusing on performance and tests to rethinking the design of teaching and learning around how learners learn best.

Re-Imagined Learning Spaces for Media Centers

Re-Imagined Learning Spaces for Media Centers | Personalize Learning (#plearnchat) | Scoop.it
Media Centers are changing. See how Buncombe County created flexible learning spaces with makerspaces, green screens, legos and more.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
Buncombe County Schools has embarked on a journey that is designed to transform our school library media centers into flexible learning spaces that are earmarked by designs that encourage choice and voice for our students. At the core of this endeavor is a focus on access and the ability to create, make, and produce items that reflect learners’ interests.
Agustin Bastida's curator insight, October 18, 2014 3:49 AM

We want to create a Four-C-Able Space for the Foreseeable Future. It is based on the four Cs of 21st Century learning.
