Personalized Learning

How Do You Personalize Learning With Multiple Types Of Technology Including The Iwb With Tablets, Etc.?

Even though I have been teaching for many years, and have been part of many PD sessions, I am just starting to wrap my brain around how to personalize my classroom for my students? Now, I am starting to have some lectures to get the ball rolling, some labs for the hands on learner, some video for the lost, late, or absent student, online notes, and online quizzes for the student who wants repetition. My experience is starting to understand some of the neessary steps that requires scaffolding and still other content that are wonderful detours. It takes a while to figure out the difference here.

The essential learning and the wonderful detours require an asynchronous classroom. I am working towards a situation where some students can work on this and other students can work on that. NOTEBOOK files are starting to provide a perfect way for small groups using their own Smartboards or individuals at laptops to walk themselves through a short lesson to scaffold them for the next activity. It allows them to have a follow up formative quiz so that they know if they are ready for the summative assessment, in whatever flavor that might be.
