Personalized Learning with Technology

"...personalized learning — at least in our understanding of the term — refers to the whole enchilada: learning that is tailored to the preferences and interests of various learners, as well as instruction that is paced to a student’s unique needs. Academic goals, curriculum and content — as well as method and pace — can all conceivably vary in a personalized learning environment."

How can the use of technology, both within and outside of the classroom, support personalized learning?

  1. Jill,
    I firmly believe in student choice. Using technology, we can allow to students to reach an objective using whatever form of technology meets their learning needs. Do you find that it is easy to personalize learning in a math classroom?

  2. I think that it can be difficult to personalize any classroom; especially when there is a set amount of curriculum that must be covered. However, I agree with you 100%; technology has made it much easier to personalize learning for students. There are so many options available.

  3. I think technology promotes personalized learning. Sometimes I think as educators we tend to decide how we want students to accomplish a task versus focusing on them actually accomplishing the task. To me, the how does not matter. Sara I agree completely in giving student choice. Many students need an example or some ideas and I think we should provide those but I also think we give the students freedom. If they want to use what we suggest they can, but they do not have to. That I believe personalizes the classroom.

  5. Melissa,
    I love that you feel that how a task is accomplished doesn't matter as much as actually accomplishing the task. I wish more teachers felt this way.
