look like?

http://www.ed.gov/technology/netp-2010/learning-engage-and-empower

Empowering learners to drive their own learning

through:Respecting that learners know how they learn best

Giving learners voice and choice: co-designers of the curriculum

Flexible, anytime learning

Authentic learning that is self-directed

Teachers acting as guides on the side

Collaborative, flexible learning environment

Why make a shift?The Factory Model of the 19th Century no longer

applies in our rapidly changing world.

Why make a shift?New web environments are game changers in

learning. Learners are connected with information and people around the world 24/7

As our world has changed, so have learners’ needs and access to information and learning

What does a Personalized Learning Classroom look

like?

Learners are active and engaged

Learners have a voice and choice in what learning takes place and how it is learned and assessed

The teacher is a co-designer and partner in learning

The teacher is no longer the “keeper and dispenser of the knowledge”

The classroom is technology rich and allows for anywhere/anytime learning

    

 

“The principle goal of education is to create men and woman who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.” Jean Piaget

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” 

- Albert Einstein

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” 

- Alvin Toffler

Personalized Learning is necessary because…
