Q1: Creating a common vocabulary. What is blended learning? What makes it different from tech integration? https://t.co/rl1abMpXb2
April Aston 4th T Clinton
first day for students is the 18th
Good evening, My name is Gregg, and I am a district admin in Columbia Borough SD, Pennsylvania.
A1: I have no idea, but I love the little spiral notebook and faux handwriting.
I've been looking forward to the start since June.
A1: Blended used tech integration to connect on and offline instruction.
A2 Blended is form of tech int; it's using video to replace/supplement in-class lecture
LeeAnne Pepper from , so excited about tonight's topic and moderator!
My school district starts on the 22 Aug as well.
Anthony from Stilly checking in!
Not sure? Watch this video to hear more a/b the differences b/w blended learning & tech integration: https://t.co/h5wJHdPu3C
A1 Blended is form of tech int; it's using video to replace/supplement in-class lecture
Jason Perez, Executive Director of TLE at the State Dept.
Brandi Williams, science specialist. Looking forward to a new year!
a1) blended learning - is a combo of synchronous (same time) and asynchronous (your time choice) learning - using tech
Blended learning is the students choosing their path to learning, tech integration is the teacher choosing the path to teaching.
You would be a perfect class to do blended learning!
Welcome! https://t.co/2EVZH9T2dG
Good evening, My name is Gregg, and I am a district admin in Columbia Borough SD, Pennsylvania.
Meghan Bender Union High School
Thanks! We've only had 2 days, but I got a feel for the year - encouraging! ;-)
blended learning includes student control ; tech integration is adding tech to your lessons from the 90s https://t.co/iBtBOh7CeI
Q1: Creating a common vocabulary. What is blended learning? What makes it different from tech integration? https://t.co/rl1abMpXb2
A1 Blended learning incorporates tech & other subjects together in a natural meaningful way.
A1) I have no idea. I think I've always heard of blended learning and tech int. as the same thing
A1 Blended learning is the ability for students to do as they need to complete tasks in the classroom. Present online or paper
Your chat was recently recommended to me at the Conference. So happy to join tonight.
A1: Blended learning is where tech is blended in w/ S learning, integration is bring in new tech to the lessons
So glad to have you and welcome to https://t.co/GijfNylE87
Good evening, My name is Gregg, and I am a district admin in Columbia Borough SD, Pennsylvania.
A1: BL - involves an online delivery with the traditional classroom. Tech int - using tech tools to enhance https://t.co/48nS7V7fj2
Q1: Creating a common vocabulary. What is blended learning? What makes it different from tech integration? https://t.co/rl1abMpXb2
Blended could be great tool for choir! I remember getting audio tapes as young choir student to practice; why not video?
A1: layman' guess- blended is student driven where tech integration suggests more of the teacher's role
Tawn Rundle, Asst. Supt@ Merritt Schools - getting here a little late!
A1: Blended Learning is learning 2 different ideas as one idea. Integration is implementing an idea into another.
Love this idea! What about Google Hangouts to sing or write music with other classrooms? https://t.co/QVh98vkPmg
Blended could be great tool for choir! I remember getting audio tapes as young choir student to practice; why not video?
I missed the question because I was being a school girl over being retweeted by the
A1: It sounds like the most common start date. Nice to see you here!
A1. Blended Learning (I think ) is using tech as a tool, like a textbook is a tool. Not the end, but tech as a means. I think.
A1: using as many tools and resources as possible to make the most learning happen... https://t.co/RtN86H0MPI
Q1: Creating a common vocabulary. What is blended learning? What makes it different from tech integration? https://t.co/rl1abMpXb2
Oh man, lost track of the time! Hey there !
Very interesting distinction - I think we could get into this topic a lot more deeply! https://t.co/wMrQmAlUTC
A1: layman' guess- blended is student driven where tech integration suggests more of the teacher's role
A1: IMO the tech integration comes first, deployments. Blended learning is HOW the Ts use the integration for student learning
A1:BL uses the intro-webs to deliver the goods outside of the traditional classroom. TI utilizes tech w/in the confines of classroom
A1: BL acknowledges impact of tech & strives to creates envir where Ss are given some control of time, pace and place of lrng.
A1 Blended learning is, in part, using technology as a platform for Ss to take ownership of their learning. https://t.co/uAJlMvL622
Q1: Creating a common vocabulary. What is blended learning? What makes it different from tech integration? https://t.co/rl1abMpXb2
Janalyn Taylor, Clinton principal
Finally - we can start for REAL!
(it's actually quite good to see you, Allison!) https://t.co/t0K6fJGuW6
Oh man, lost track of the time! Hey there !
Huh. I have never thought of it like that...I always think the kids need to learn it, too?
says no matter which one you use the "Teacher is the most important variable"
BL is the students choosing their path, tech integration is teacher choosing the path.
A1: Ss learn in part via digital & online media
S control is a key component!
A1 Blended learning is less restricted to the walls of the classroom or school...learning can happen anywhere!
A1: Blended learning means allowing tech 2 play a clearly defined role in the learning process. Usually SGI is in the mix as well.
A1: Tech integration has tended to emphasize shoehorning tech into curriculum. Blended learning is a learning-driven approach.
A1) Blended learning to me is the balance between technology, facilitation, and PBL opportunities for our Ss.
a1) We have to include that blended learning requires a different use of time - not all teacher driven clock time & hw is different.
A1cont Tech integration is using tech as a tool without necessarily personalizing the learning to each S https://t.co/uAJlMvL622
Q1: Creating a common vocabulary. What is blended learning? What makes it different from tech integration? https://t.co/rl1abMpXb2
I was so impressed by that!! https://t.co/Jk87ttXrMn
I missed the question because I was being a school girl over being retweeted by the
hi Tawn!! Had a great time this weekend at Hope you enjoyed it!!
A1 - blended learning allows S's to use the technology they are comfortable with. Integration is bringing 1 type of tech
A1 So blended leaning is the next step after we have used technology within our classroom to share and discuss,ideas learned.
Q2: Blended learning is more than just 1:1 technology. What other changes need to be made to create an effective BL environment?
A1: Blended learning is a partial flipped classroom, where Ss get info online on their own time One way to integrate tech
Dang, ya'll, I am getting a definite "tech integration is a dirty word" vibe here/. Who hurt you?
You edcampDallasLS quit rubbing it in to those who had to stay home https://t.co/ASIZvAATTJ
hi Tawn!! Had a great time this weekend at Hope you enjoyed it!!
A1a. Blended Learning is a great idea in a modern tech driven society if schools can afford it. I recommend kindles over Ipads. $$
Love the analogy of the "time turner" in Harry Potter. Blended lrrning allow Ss to move fwd/bckward
A2: Ts need time to create videos or lessons and all Ss need internet access to get them. https://t.co/5kAXkCifIl
Q2: Blended learning is more than just 1:1 technology. What other changes need to be made to create an effective BL environment?
Oops! Got distracted by smiley faces and plumcots! Hi all!
This is a truly inspired response. Thanks for he insight.
Im not real familiar with BL but since my generous donation to my classroom I am going to try to go paperless.
A2 Teachers need to understand that they do not have to master all teach. Learn from the students. Sit back and watch what they do
I don't think tech integration is a dirty word...but it's just the beginning of a great adventure that can lead to blended learning
Oh, I'm liking the thoughts on blended learning. Haven't thought about it like this before.
A2: Well a lot of my Ss don't have internet access...so that needs to change.
A2: we have to understand what we are doing and why. Flexibility & focus https://t.co/GkDeu0QHip
Q2: Blended learning is more than just 1:1 technology. What other changes need to be made to create an effective BL environment?
Mark your calendars 10-29-16 https://t.co/bS1FtGk3Kg
I did! Info overload, but ready to get to planning on Oct 29 !
Teach elem students to submit work electronically. BC that's what college requires. https://t.co/wpup4dRvFY
Im not real familiar with BL but since my generous donation to my classroom I am going to try to go paperless.
a1) in higher ed - blended learning is about changed clock times.. not 2 hr 50 min classes - maybe 2 hour plus blend
A2 first, a pretty major shift in the way Ts think about teaching https://t.co/9c53PkXLD2
Q2: Blended learning is more than just 1:1 technology. What other changes need to be made to create an effective BL environment?
Internet access is a big one if devices go home or if there's an expectation for work outside the school day, I think
A2: ALL Ss need Internet access at home - crutch for exploration & additional home resources https://t.co/ty0pknuMLY
Q2: Blended learning is more than just 1:1 technology. What other changes need to be made to create an effective BL environment?
1:1 ought to be about the hundredth thing on your list. It's great, but you had better spend quality time on curriculum up front.
A2: Student led, teacher assist as needed. This makes is more meaningful to Ss.
A2: Ss should have some control over time, place, path, & pace of the blended learning
Q/A2: Is creating assignments which might be to some degree 'tech optional' still blended learning?
A2- We must move toward differentiated instruction and away from antiquated method of everyone on same pg, same lesson, same needs.
A2: One suggestion would be BYOD's and multiple platforms. Let Ss how they learn best.
A2: BL requires more "up front" time on the T, but can save on the other end by using tech ability to check progress & reteach
do I have to do it again???
I am suprised by how students that watch videos replay them.
Doug Brown trying to catch up. A1 Tech Integration is part of Blended Lrng just one aspect
A2 teaching to every type of learner using various teaching methods; tech, project based learning, etc
A2: Ss, Ts, & stakeholders must understand the connection between tech & its implications in the real world. https://t.co/Naiaz3MoEz
A2 Students need opportunity to collaborate, research, create...using tech as more than "drill and kill".
A2: 1) Releasing the idea of a linear timeline for instructional delivery. 2) S ownership 3) Ts learning to let go of learning path
A2: I think making it relevant and worthwhile. Tech in the classroom is great if it's beneficial. https://t.co/VXoPfQGvLZ
Angela Little | Edmond Parent | Business Analyst @ Am Fid | public Ed advocate |
Can we count the Ss present when learning is beyond the walls of the school? So many walls to worry with. https://t.co/l4FnQZQDeL
A1 Blended learning is less restricted to the walls of the classroom or school...learning can happen anywhere!
. As one who tries their damnedest to prevent that evil, I am still shocked by mass reply here. Understand it, but wow.
A2) Ts facilitate the learning along with the Ss; Assessment of BL will look different and may not be clear; Ts & Ss need time
Except if you use 1 to 1 and something like downloaded at school - can watch off line. Still expensive.
You're talking personalized learning and I love it!
A2) not necessarily. The beauty of classroom tech is that the T doesn't have 2b definitive expert anymore https://t.co/LidZlzML4E
A2: Ts need time to create videos or lessons and all Ss need internet access to get them. https://t.co/5kAXkCifIl
Q2: Blended learning is more than just 1:1 technology. What other changes need to be made to create an effective BL environment?
A2: One suggestion would be BYOD's and offer multiple platforms. Let Ss decide how they learn and create best .
A2 mindsets that the teacher has to be the center of attention
Donors choose is a good option too. https://t.co/u6TROihy2D
A1a. Blended Learning is a great idea in a modern tech driven society if schools can afford it. I recommend kindles over Ipads. $$
A2 teachers need to be able to allow S's to utilize the tech the S are most comfortable with, not the T https://t.co/MxvO6erbvp
Q2: Blended learning is more than just 1:1 technology. What other changes need to be made to create an effective BL environment?
Moving from teacher to facilitator can be a big change for some Ts! https://t.co/2j0nClTGWa
A2) Ts facilitate the learning along with the Ss; Assessment of BL will look different and may not be clear; Ts & Ss need time
I would think so. https://t.co/ELhVBQF2H6
Q/A2: Is creating assignments which might be to some degree 'tech optional' still blended learning?
a2) time and instructional support for teachers to create content.
I'm curious about this as well. What if a student isn't able to engage with the tech?
A2: There seems to be a general assumption that (a) all Ss have tech, and (b) all Ss know how to effectively use the tech they have.
Good point. I hadn't thought of BL being done during school time, but that makes sense! Thanks!
A2 Blended learning seems to be what many of us wanted to see as a result of technology in schools. It gives technology meaniing.
I do not believe this to be the case.
A2 Creativity with technology. Not just using tech in place of paper and pencil.
A2) The teacher has to learn to give up just a little bit of control of his/her classroom
same device... Same application. Offer choice!
A2: I think we need to focus on rigorous learning that is designed around relevant, real-world problems.
Yes! It's about the skill/task not the tool! https://t.co/7yYAtaqhXy
A2 Creativity with technology. Not just using tech in place of paper and pencil.
Hope admins/tech directors reading: Don't spend $ in tech w/o investing in TEACHER PD Can't afford not 2 https://t.co/2fDTAqGYin
Almost no one trains non-technical people correctly. They dump tech and expect it to be magically integrated.
Good point. So it could be assigning a YouTube video to watch at the student's leisure? https://t.co/88H0HZuCzL
A2) not necessarily. The beauty of classroom tech is that the T doesn't have 2b definitive expert anymore https://t.co/LidZlzML4E
A2: Ts need time to create videos or lessons and all Ss need internet access to get them. https://t.co/5kAXkCifIl
Q2: Blended learning is more than just 1:1 technology. What other changes need to be made to create an effective BL environment?
A2) paradigm shift to true student centered lrng, where S questions & inquiry drive the lesson https://t.co/V9cD61KQ4l
Q2: Blended learning is more than just 1:1 technology. What other changes need to be made to create an effective BL environment?
if done right, a lot can be done at school. blended doesn't always require tech at home or school. .
High School Principal. Silo Public Schools.
EXACTLY! https://t.co/ZIa4rPVNw4
A2: There seems to be a general assumption that (a) all Ss have tech, and (b) all Ss know how to effectively use the tech they have.
it really can alter the dynamic, but sometimes the dynamic really needs to be altered...
Q3: What is personalized learning? How does PL support differentiation in the classroom?
A2 let S use diff platforms to show what they've learned. Videos, animation, PowerPoint is not new https://t.co/MxvO6erbvp
Q2: Blended learning is more than just 1:1 technology. What other changes need to be made to create an effective BL environment?
a2) we have to change our classroom management instruction - and deal with ideas of eval that can't be cheated.
I used for book sign-outs in my ELA room.
Sorry, . The 100 meter final at the is about to happen. I will be distracted for about 9.4 seconds.Can Bolt be beat?
The mass customization of learning.
are very lucky to have good decision makers
a2) Also libraries and other partners are excited to get involved with schools and welcome learners.
Actually PL = personalized learning, BL = blended learning...I ran out of characters!
...and there are Ts who struggle with using tech effectively as well.
Yes it's about student controlling the time, the place n the device https://t.co/fwi1LujDHl
A2) The teacher has to learn to give up just a little bit of control of his/her classroom
Q2: BL is the use of tech and other toys in a natural progression of the learning. Not just computer or iPad https://t.co/elutA02saj
Sorry I have to stop to watch the 100 Meter Dash. Can Bolt be beat? I just don't think so!
A2b: Okay, I'm feeling better about blended learning. If it means having students learn Prezi or make digital papers, I'm good! :-)
work hard and spend $$ on training but still not sure it is enough to meet the needs of 170 Ts https://t.co/ZC3zDuCkCg
Almost no one trains non-technical people correctly. They dump tech and expect it to be magically integrated.
A3: tailoring education to meet diff. Learning needs of Ss
A3 PL is about meeting the needs and ensuring a proper amount of rigor for ALL Ss all the time https://t.co/NXktwBsfHz
Q3: What is personalized learning? How does PL support differentiation in the classroom?
A3: PL is student focused for individualized interests; our linear system hinders this capability https://t.co/3CTyAyacrT
Q3: What is personalized learning? How does PL support differentiation in the classroom?
glad businesses like McDs & public libraries now offer access. Regularly have Ss outside school using net https://t.co/qinlJnUk1G
A2: Well a lot of my Ss don't have internet access...so that needs to change.
A3 - PL is individualizing learning based on S needs https://t.co/IJjWdrCVJG
Q3: What is personalized learning? How does PL support differentiation in the classroom?
Boom! We def need to train kids how to use their tech for professional/learning purposes. https://t.co/HJZlKv9wcf
A2: There seems to be a general assumption that (a) all Ss have tech, and (b) all Ss know how to effectively use the tech they have.
a3) Personalized learning & Blended Learning are 2 different things 2me - BL is still a teacher path - PL is openended student path.
Personalized learning is just that a student making their own path to the learning goal. Different pace, different path.
A3: It allows kids to not just find answers/solutions, but they must also learn to ask their own questions. https://t.co/g6qP8nLEYt
Q3: What is personalized learning? How does PL support differentiation in the classroom?
Here in Tulsa, offers hot spots for Ss to check out! https://t.co/ARBNwGQMAO
glad businesses like McDs & public libraries now offer access. Regularly have Ss outside school using net https://t.co/qinlJnUk1G
A2: Well a lot of my Ss don't have internet access...so that needs to change.
A3:Not everyone needs the same, some Ts like Ss already know the info/or need more time to learn, meets their needs
A3: I thought differentiated learning was personalized learning!
A3 Focusing on how your Ss will get it not how to do it easy for yourself. Letting them teach what they know.
I suppose. Or allowing students to seek their own learning resources.
In order to advance PL needs personalized PD https://t.co/zOZ5EnG0zo
Q3: What is personalized learning? How does PL support differentiation in the classroom?
I agree! Students can use tech socially, but still have trouble refining Google searches.
A3: PL is what we want, but hands tied by outdated lists of topics over skills = struggle
A3: PL is doing for education what nearly every other aspect of life has done—becoming on-demand https://t.co/LjRR9bECY1
A3: Ss learn at different pace, which doesn't mean you cannot have success in your classroom!
I think I actually heard you sigh in this tweet. Haha.
A3: PL allows for S's to get what they need out of a lesson... It involves them in the process... https://t.co/XlmPyyXIv7
Q3: What is personalized learning? How does PL support differentiation in the classroom?
Oh man, I was trying to be silent! LOL
A3: PL is all the summation of Dif. Classroom/Indiv Learning. Allows students to take control of their learning path.
A3) PL is the lrning being tailored to the individual S with the Ts input. It can be an effective wat to differentiate the learning.
I think there is more to blended learning than just tech usage though...
A3 Meeting Ss where they are, and teaching in the way they learn best.
A3: Our lock-step, linear system also removes the most important element of education, community.
depends on the tech you are taking about. A phone can limits creativity.
A3 The learning goal can be different for every student every day.
A3 PL is the purest form of differentiated instruction.
A4: YES! Because I have a 50/50 chance of being correct, so I took it!
LOL, and why did you choose yes?
A3) I think PL gives the S more choice and voice in his/her own learning. https://t.co/yVsV22snrF
A3: I thought differentiated learning was personalized learning!
a4) not necessarily - if teacher sets path - no.
I agree. Blended learning means finding the write instructional tool for the learning task. Tech or not.
A form of it maybe but there can be PL without BL. Some Ss don't use tech well so to differentiate they would have PL w/out BL.
So personalization depends on the model/type of blended learning used?
A4 Blended doesn't guarantee personalized. Video, text and small group doesn't make it personal
I like this especially since I never got a clear definition of what BL was 😁 https://t.co/awjdGK3PsS
A4: YES! Because I have a 50/50 chance of being correct, so I took it!
A4) IMO BL can be a form of PL depending on the type of strategies used and the collaboration between Ts & Ss.
Did you know there’s a twitter chat about PL? Join on Mondays at 6pm CST to participate in the discussion!
A4- BL can be a form of personalized, but some S's require more individualization than just diff devices https://t.co/YbzXnIlsgn
A4: I think yes as long as BL doesn't require that all students stay on the same page/path. https://t.co/HaWXRUhW0A
really neither necessarily need tech.. but it sure makes it easier. Blend could be reading.
I'm feeling this thought. Seems like BL can still be a T focused road https://t.co/uYMZ3MsH9O
A4 Blended doesn't guarantee personalized. Video, text and small group doesn't make it personal
I am not sure you can successful do blended learning without ceding some control to the student https://t.co/de4i0d3Qea
So personalization depends on the model/type of blended learning used?
Yes. But Ss utilize BL to find Ans. They at the essential ques. and find var. resources to solve. Qs.
A3 Quality PL is tough. It has always been a challenge. Takes a mix of planning, management, and student interest. Worth doing.
A4 PL is an important component of BL
A4 It is personalized in that the student decides how much blended learning takes place.
A3: PL is putting learning in the students hands. Having them come up with their own questions, and answers https://t.co/5Qy6j3DdVS
Q3: What is personalized learning? How does PL support differentiation in the classroom?
A4 I see it like a spectrum...some tasks = tech integration or some = BL/PL, it really comes down to the skills students should get!
I think PL is better than BL.. but how we define it in HE is about seat time. Not saying its best.
A3: PL also means teaching Ss how to develop a growth mindset through the effective use of formative assessment & metacognition.
A4: Wouldn't all of these require a high level of buy in from the Ss and Ps? Does anyone think that would be an issue? (I do...)
I have to go. Thanks for the great tech convo.
BOOM --> https://t.co/4lJ5CkEiHT
A4 Blended doesn't guarantee personalized. Video, text and small group doesn't make it personal
I guess I'm just on the fence about tech because my Ss aren't as comfortable with it and it means twice the work for me to use it.
Great teachers who have successfully controlled their classrooms for decades have issue with giving up control
I agree. BL requires a certain amount of student ownership or it won't work.
I'll be ducking tomatoes w/ my response. I've never seen BL executed well, so in theory yes, in reality, no https://t.co/3pTcZluMEl
Seems would be a great way to implement https://t.co/ssEQLanO6X
A3 Quality PL is tough. It has always been a challenge. Takes a mix of planning, management, and student interest. Worth doing.
A difficult task when their first questions refer to points/grade/rank. We need a culture shift https://t.co/IZLs45Tw1J
A3: PL also means teaching Ss how to develop a growth mindset through the effective use of formative assessment & metacognition.
I'm back!!! What did I miss??!!??
Q4 certainly can be learning simply shifts to Ss preferences n interest can personalize any lesson. Our Ts are rock stars!
Yes! https://t.co/VUIaOCwIVw
A difficult task when their first questions refer to points/grade/rank. We need a culture shift https://t.co/IZLs45Tw1J
A3: PL also means teaching Ss how to develop a growth mindset through the effective use of formative assessment & metacognition.
A4:Yes, b/cause some Ss will go above & beyond while other Ss will learn the required skills. This is where we need the push!
It has to be more productive to you to be meaningful. Use apps like that make your life easier as well!
A4: You can have both without the other. I don't believe One is dependent of the other
S's need to be responsible for their learning.
A4: It honestly depends how the teacher presents it. BL and PL can go together great, but can be separated as well.
Joy - State Supt
Ohh! Jumping in late. Looks like a great chat tonight. https://t.co/9gkCxjyYIE
Q3: What is personalized learning? How does PL support differentiation in the classroom?
Q5: Personalized learning is different from traditional ed models. What changes are needed to create an effective PL environment?
My Twitter feed this evening is a mix of chat and RTs. Along with the usual fare.
welcome! Glad to have you!
Secondary 21st century learning without some student control is hard for me to picture
Also requires Ss to take ownership and actively learn. https://t.co/WalobyeRqh
A3) BL can be PL when you use students to effectively help teach each other. Also, shows evidence of TLE rating of 5. Can be GREAT
A4 BL is not necessarily PL at all. Knowing where each S is in their learning and addressing them at that level is personalized
A4: Not the same. PL allows the Ss to choose how to solve for the Ess. Ques BL is a method or strategy.
A4: IMO, Only if blended learning includes some sort of student choice. Ss best learning environment.
A5: Time, practice, a paradigm shift, stakeholder buy in, more time... https://t.co/Kex3MzHNUQ
Q5: Personalized learning is different from traditional ed models. What changes are needed to create an effective PL environment?
A5: Step 1- shift focus from points/grades to achievement. Step 2 - be okay with "not done yet" & give S chance to finish when ready
A3: PL allows Ss and Ts to focus on teaching/learning skills at a pace that makes sense.
A5 True PL would work best in an ungraded environment. You move on when you are ready not in peer group
A5: there is a relinquishment of control that can be uneasy... Again focus & also trust are critical... https://t.co/1P96uIIdVN
We need more and improved Professional Development . https://t.co/Lk0bwd1SVB
Q5: Personalized learning is different from traditional ed models. What changes are needed to create an effective PL environment?
a5 more holistic assessment
A5 T buy in, PD, the confidence to have success and failure in front of S.
I've been reading a lot about competency based grading...very interesting stuff! https://t.co/3WVZZi5i4s
A5 True PL would work best in an ungraded environment. You move on when you are ready not in peer group
A4: Can be, but not necessarily. BL might or might not be form of PL. PL doesn't require BL. Converse is also true.
A5 Ts need real time data n an easy 2 use platform on S mastery n order 2 properly target the PL https://t.co/XIM7yzNjhn
Q5: Personalized learning is different from traditional ed models. What changes are needed to create an effective PL environment?
Nothing wrong with apprehension or doubt as long as you keep looking for ways to make it effective for kids. https://t.co/JQW348WHCJ
I guess I'm just on the fence about tech because my Ss aren't as comfortable with it and it means twice the work for me to use it.
A5) another paradigm shift- away from the "herd inoculation" view of teaching
A5: I like being control. It is hard. I'm working on it.
A5: I suggest starting with a higher caliber of student ;-)
Speaking my language, my friend! https://t.co/OtFDbi8BLt
We need more and improved Professional Development . https://t.co/Lk0bwd1SVB
Q5: Personalized learning is different from traditional ed models. What changes are needed to create an effective PL environment?
A5: PL must be student centered, authentic learning
I want all my Ss to leave my classroom knowing there's more! They CAN do more! The possibilities are endless!
More T's not thinking outside the box but stomping the damn box &teaching how the S learn not expecting them 2 Learn how you teach
A5: Re-evaluate graduation requirements, allow more student choice, & restructure time constraints https://t.co/bgGGkykW9X
Q5: Personalized learning is different from traditional ed models. What changes are needed to create an effective PL environment?
A5- in order to effectively create a PL model, you need to assess where your individual S's are then move https://t.co/4CKc8IP6Tr
Q5: Personalized learning is different from traditional ed models. What changes are needed to create an effective PL environment?
A5:1st..Willingness, Buy-In and support from Administrators, T's, S's and P's. 2nd. Some effective PD would be good.
A5) PL needs collaboration between Ss & Ts; Ss need to be honest with their needs & Ts need to be genuine in their help. Also Time.
A5 Big data could make it much easier if properly mined and utilized.
I've been known to soapbox on this very topic https://t.co/5mICLhQKQl
A5 True PL would work best in an ungraded environment. You move on when you are ready not in peer group
A5) Access to relevant technology for ALL Ss, PD on that tech for Ts, and an open mind for all involved to make it successful
No joke! And maybe creating classes based on S level!
A4: I will add that I view most BL which is not focused on PL as a waste of resources and opportunity.
A5: I'm all for ungraded unstructured un-anything learning, but it assumes much about the drive and focus of 150 kids a day.
A5: For starters, let's redefine the senior year...
https://t.co/Ksj835xY1w
Q5: Personalized learning is different from traditional ed models. What changes are needed to create an effective PL environment?
A5 - part 1- PL works best if the T does frequent assessments of where S's are & if they are moving toward goals.
Q5 It's a paradigm change n mutual ownership of learning between Ts n Ss
PD must demonstrate BL/PL instead of meetings where teachers simply sit and listen. Then maybe more teachers would by in.
So I def think that personalized learning has to be modeled and practiced for Ss to be successful w/ it! https://t.co/qdyQWwa4DK
A5: I'm all for ungraded unstructured un-anything learning, but it assumes much about the drive and focus of 150 kids a day.
Expecting 21st century teaching using 20th century PD falls under the definition of insanity
A5 Getting rid of the 19th Century factory model of schooling would be a good start.
A5 - part 2 assessments should be frequent, quarterly benchmarks are too far away from the time the learning should have occurred
A5-T's must KNOW their students needs and be able to address the needs in multiple ways- leveled learning, learning modes,styles
Q5: PL would need to eliminate tight T certification rules, laminated lesson plans, tight bell schedule etc. https://t.co/oVBgCEgJya
Q5: Personalized learning is different from traditional ed models. What changes are needed to create an effective PL environment?
Q6: How does blended learning or personalized learning look different in the elementary classroom vs. the secondary classroom?
Q5 T must learn to let Ss investigate & explore topics of interest. Weaving standards into meaningful learning.
sometimes that has to be okay... we are there to guide not to clone
A5: I think you answered that w/ your 1st Q. Ts, Adm, Ss, need 2 start w a common definition. Feel like, look like?
So really it sounds like everyone wants to go to a Montessori-type school system. Proven and learner-centric
that will be difficult with classes of 32+
I went to Montessori for elementary, loved it! https://t.co/IQ43QiIgbR
So really it sounds like everyone wants to go to a Montessori-type school system. Proven and learner-centric
Read about how this elementary school in RI used blended learning to improve student achievement: https://t.co/sDnnAPkfuA
A4: Provide flexibility in the structure of school. PL easily drowns with the weighted chains of the Carnegie unit & bell schedule.
how do you think the increased class sizes due to budget cuts will affect BL and PL?
Expecting 21st century achievement results requires adequate 21st century funding & resources too https://t.co/yuhEy3xRQ0
Expecting 21st century teaching using 20th century PD falls under the definition of insanity
Maybe not classes but students chose where they need to go to reach their personal learning goals
A6: First and foremost, they're shorter.
A5: For starters, let's reimagine and redefine the senior year...

A5: Accessibility 2 relevant tools needed 4 the 21st Century workplace. Ss r graduating ill prepared bc of lack of skills
In some cases elem Ts as a whole are quicker to relinquish some control so it is a smoother transition https://t.co/t8vMUw3Kw2
Q6: How does blended learning or personalized learning look different in the elementary classroom vs. the secondary classroom?
A6 Elementary has fundamental skills and allows choices. Secondary focuses on more student freedom and direction
A6: Handing it new to an 11th grader often not as successful as Elem. - cond for trad methods & anxious https://t.co/iKOOWO21U7
Q6: How does blended learning or personalized learning look different in the elementary classroom vs. the secondary classroom?
A6: 1) Depth of guided Qs by Ts. 2) Width of integration (both tech and BL) to https://t.co/pQtsxWMr1s is the same .
Yes! Internships, please! https://t.co/PJZ8DOIL30

Then let,s get rid of giving teachers on their TLE if we want to foster a growth mindset
That is a challenge if you are in https://t.co/MuCm0P86ox
Expecting 21st century achievement results requires adequate 21st century funding & resources too https://t.co/yuhEy3xRQ0
Expecting 21st century teaching using 20th century PD falls under the definition of insanity
A6: Elem Ss tend to be excited by change, but HS Ss have learned to fear it
A6 easier in secondary since most classes are leveled the older Ss get. In elementary Ts do it with small group instruction.
Secondary is preparing them for real world. Elem is preparing them for secondary. Elem is more guided yet still student led.
I think they fear not knowing the right answer for the tests. .
I actually think the BL & PL can help schools be more flexible and save money!
A4 If I was any good at it I would post a venn diagram. BL / IL/ and the part that is both. Consider the overlap when planning.
However we need to also redefine College freshman year to make re envisioned senior year meaningful
A6 - I think they start looking different at 3rd grade because of high stakes testing. We say personalized, but test cookie cutter
A5: Also, give secondary teachers a fighting chance at PL with less than 150 enrolled students to coach. Requires structural change.
I'm sorry now gymnastics is on!!!
More implementation of journals, free-writes, etc.
How does one get them to use the tech they already own, yet acknowledge that not all do own the same tech. https://t.co/It2tWsrLBZ
Where I teach every student has a cell phone....it's up to us to figure out how to deliver it to them effectively https://t.co/vf5ZAaS1Aj
Could you imagine the saving on just the cost of subs.
Interesting some elementary teachers think easier in secondary whereas secondary believes just the opposite
A6: We have to let our secondary Ss fail to learn more in PL and BL environments. Old lesson of try and try again.
A6 we sell elem Ss short on what they are capable of they can do so much more than we give them credit for https://t.co/IOhB1vfPVf
Q6: How does blended learning or personalized learning look different in the elementary classroom vs. the secondary classroom?
Several of our schools are using a PL model that focuses on student choice with teacher mentorship!
Absolutely! They also want to know that there is a correct answer and to get credit for providing it
Real change starts in elem and drives secondary change.
A6: Not sure the difference, but I do know it is hard to start something new with HS S's when they have been learning a certain way
A6) I imagine that it would be difficult to establish the BL in elementary without the fundamental skill sets that most sec Ss have.
A6 Elementary T's are much better at differentiation than secondary. They have no choice... We secondary folks should watch & learn
A6 Early Childhood classrooms should b right at home w/this topic! Individualized, hands on, creative exploration, collaboration...
Q7: What support or PD do teachers need to implement blended learning or personalized learning?
So true! They want to be "right" and to get credit for it
u don't think it will be more difficult for T'a to personalize to for more kiddos, not saying your wrong. Pondering
A6: It shouldn't be different! Ss should leave classroom successful, knowing they have Ts full support from the beginning to end!
A6 some Ts have trouble trusting secondary Ss to behave responsibly
I think I'm Qing when I should be Aing tonight. But these games only come once every 4 years.
This is true. Even as a newbie, 2nd year teacher I am old and stuck in my ways, dang it. https://t.co/vCrfj0wrt1
A6: Elem Ss tend to be excited by change, but HS Ss have learned to fear it
A7: One that doesn't not waste my time and actually provides real help.
And middle school is the land of in-between... https://t.co/Dx7udMlvjD
Secondary is preparing them for real world. Elem is preparing them for secondary. Elem is more guided yet still student led.
A7: IMO, PL and BL integrate with initiatives as well. Ts need support on how to manage
I think secondary has to be structured 2. It takes everybody a while to get used to this new way of learning https://t.co/GKzLHzxSuL
A6 I don't know that it has 2 look monumentally different, but elem does have 2 b structured n the beginning https://t.co/nxIAXlqDoJ
A7: "Permission" from Admin to take risks & try stuff that might help kids. Support from peers who may not try it the same way.
A7: A slow, steady, and purposeful timeline of implementation. Also, plenty of room to experiement and grow.
A7: Attending an AP seminar would help (even for those who will never teach AP)! Also, Socratic seminar training
YES. Students must be getting real world experience and exploring careers and their future
a7) TIme time time and brainstorming support, instructional design support and feedback.
If we instill a growth mindset from the start & are diligent to preserve it maybe HS Ss will be more at ease https://t.co/UP5iofMaJJ
A6: Elem Ss tend to be excited by change, but HS Ss have learned to fear it
A6: Elem Ts have fewer Ss, more time w/ Ss to PL; HS Ts have 150 Ss hard to PL
A7: Something more than "oh, here's some tech, this is what the buttons do, now everyone use it!" https://t.co/haO6YdE3oM
Hat off to and OU for changing how they prepare teachers https://t.co/4zuK8iyofv
Q7: What support or PD do teachers need to implement blended learning or personalized learning?
A7 A person solely dedicated to teacher PD who actually has the will, resources, &ability to do job. Admin support. Time.
We need tech that we do not have to give up for bench mark and state testing https://t.co/qDNXR1PqQp
Q7: What support or PD do teachers need to implement blended learning or personalized learning?
That's where I think technology can help. & PL makes Ss in charge of advocating for their own learning needs!
A7 My Captain Obvious statement for the night "Personalized PD"
Exactly - unless they just don't care at all, which occurs a lot at my school. I need to find a way to help them care.
A7: it helps to see success stories and the processes in place and in action... https://t.co/O994K30xVC
Q7: What support or PD do teachers need to implement blended learning or personalized learning?
A7: You can offer me PD on something that sings and offers rainbows, but an evaluation that faults me for risk = not happening
A7) PD includes differentiated instruction, technology use in learning, brain study, flipped classrooms; just to start.
Lacking thinking skills! https://t.co/Uc8Bd5Zxze
A5: Accessibility 2 relevant tools needed 4 the 21st Century workplace. Ss r graduating ill prepared bc of lack of skills
a8) did I mention time.. I remember looking at a school with two planning indiv and team longingly.
A7 low floor, high ceiling tasks; grading for mastery; teaching digital citizenship...just to name https://t.co/gEMdijtHGG
I'd say more than one person - it's a big job!
A5: If we require our students to be creative, teachers must embrace creativity, too.
Interested in implementing BL or PL in your classroom or school? Start with this Edutopia article: https://t.co/onxgZa0siy
A7 PL requires T's to know S's. Also need a good formative assessment plan so we know where our S's are in their learning.
A7 PD should be content specific, implementing tech in Eng and Sci will look very different
Q8: Are there challenges to implementing blended learning or personalized learning? If so, what are they?
A7 real peer observation of Ts that utilize PL &BL
IF BL is ON! Why not give Ss the freedom to go to the library or starbucks to work if Ts gone? .
All the PD you need is already available for free. Just takes time to find it and build in house expertise. https://t.co/3Dec98otvn
Exactly... https://t.co/2YNdS58eUo
A6: Not sure the difference, but I do know it is hard to start something new with HS S's when they have been learning a certain way
A7: support from admin 2 teach how the students learn and not to the test for one. Less emphasis on testing and more on creativity.
A8: Apparently knowing what they are helps... ha ha. Money and time would help, too...
Which is why it frustrates me that we spend the $$ for the hardware/software but not the training etc. https://t.co/ixbFvDwzID
I think PD needs to be personalized just like what we want for students right?!? https://t.co/ae3MTVl0v9
A7: One that doesn't not waste my time and actually provides real help.
A7 Differentiated, personal and on-going tech instruction that doesn't occur on unpaid time.
We are trying.. we hope you are happy with our grads.. Come interact with them on Aug 26 :)
I love all of the great resources you are sharing in tonight's chat! 👏👏👏
there are challenges to implement anything worth doing https://t.co/7gG6DsDES7
Q8: Are there challenges to implementing blended learning or personalized learning? If so, what are they?
A8: Resources and training
A7- as T's we are responsible for our own learning we need to google, be part of PLC's like https://t.co/vaKbnjIWsQ
Q7: What support or PD do teachers need to implement blended learning or personalized learning?
A7 BL requires T's to have the tech knowledge required to create lessons & the time to put it all together.
A7: Don't have ans. on how to fix, but some Ts can't read their kids, or create relationships to know their kids. Essential for PL. .
so true! But better to name them and design solutions than to be blindsided when they arise!
Change must come from all levels, form the innovators then those teachers/Admin lagging behind
A8: Absolutely, $$$, admin support, parent support, worthwhile training, willing students... https://t.co/0jfI1DzR4a
A7a First we need to embrace a growth mindset and accept that mistakes will be made, but that's part of the process.
a8) time.. often admins think you can put more stds in blended classroom, actually the opposite.
Admin needs to allow for bigger broader PLC's. T's need to be observing each other at work in the classroom.
A8 Fear of new, lack of freedom, perceived lack of support
A7 Answering Q7 with a Q: Is current teacher prep in college preparing new teachers for BL and PL? How about Admin degree programs?
don't laugh but we do "centers" in 8th gr. Like we do in first , at times.
I've decided that anything is possible if your team has a growth mindset!
A8: it looks different and scary... Any help getting over those worries can always help... https://t.co/5CBIroSIqr
Q8: Are there challenges to implementing blended learning or personalized learning? If so, what are they?
A8. Read my A6. Also, in HS, when these S's go to college, they go back to old school ways.
A8: You make your own challenges and but how you face them is totally up to you!
The PD can b free. Grab ur "techies" 1/month and invite Ts to share ideas and play/learn together https://t.co/uKBqXrSC8Q
Telling thought/question https://t.co/8EpAOhDSfS
A7 Answering Q7 with a Q: Is current teacher prep in college preparing new teachers for BL and PL? How about Admin degree programs?
A6: Challenging own thinking, but I think Ele Ss would need more time 4 old school than Sec Ss? Gotta get Reading & Rithmatic right
Not laughing, I'm loving! I'm a secondary teacher who loves centers! https://t.co/83SQYcu3kr
don't laugh but we do "centers" in 8th gr. Like we do in first , at times.
A8) When I was in the classroom the biggest challenges were Ss being honest with the rigor and Ss & my accountability.
A8 PD, high stakes testing, and resources
remember I work with 7th and 8th graders many students are not self-governing
Q8 Greatest challenge is you just gotta be up for it n believe in it! It certainly isn't easy but it's doable.
Dont we do that in life.. if I want to use the 3d printer _ have to go to center.
Have more questions? Check out these hashtags: & on Twitter for more info!
That's not a problem at my school - my admin is supportive, but that still doesn't buy time or supplies https://t.co/aGm23RBNN0
A8 Fear of new, lack of freedom, perceived lack of support
I always say " I can't put out a fire if I Don't know it exists" https://t.co/r2HRnb1n7s
so true! But better to name them and design solutions than to be blindsided when they arise!
A7b Support from admin to implement new ways of learning.
We call those "rotating labs" 😂 https://t.co/fJpyFGV5Ia
don't laugh but we do "centers" in 8th gr. Like we do in first , at times.
A8 A complete shift in educational philosophy in a time where budgets barely cover the basics. That's all.
A8 A's, T's S's and P's need to change their mind-set about education for tomorrow. They need plenty of PD and modeling for S's.
Q9: Do you consider Twitter to be a form of personalized learning? Why or why not?
agreed.. higher ed has to change too.. https://t.co/lwAfajAmjf
A8. Read my A6. Also, in HS, when these S's go to college, they go back to old school ways.
I was kinda ashamed to say it till I started watching this..
Yes! I know I've sounded rather negative tonight, but I would be willing to try and adapt! Promise. https://t.co/EaImEp4p7l
A7a First we need to embrace a growth mindset and accept that mistakes will be made, but that's part of the process.
are they not because we don't expect them to or allow them to become so?
A8- Classroom management and managing time so that all learners receive quality time w/ T- The Daily 5 is a good resource for Elem
does this on 3rd Wednesday of the month. Led by and enhanced by Ts sharing best practices https://t.co/YZHqftvXwr
The PD can b free. Grab ur "techies" 1/month and invite Ts to share ideas and play/learn together https://t.co/uKBqXrSC8Q
sorry, I could only hit like button once on your answer
A9: Hmmm... sure. We can ask as many ?s as we want, leave at any time, and choose how/whether to participate https://t.co/CLzK2Jtvh8
Q9: Do you consider Twitter to be a form of personalized learning? Why or why not?
Let's not blame higher ed. Teachers must continue to learn and attend PD. Learning does not stop with your teaching degree
A9 ! I get to learn about the things I want to learn about, the things I need to learn about! https://t.co/6jKFybj9Q5
Q9: Do you consider Twitter to be a form of personalized learning? Why or why not?
Yes and it's free https://t.co/pLj27fgjnn
Q9: Do you consider Twitter to be a form of personalized learning? Why or why not?
A9: Absolutely. Learn what you are passionate about, at your own pace, from whomever you need.
A9: The Twitters is as personalized as you want it to be.
A8 School bandwidth capable of maintaining connections with surplus of tech in the buildings
Twitter is the best PD! I just wish I could get all my coworkers here. 😔
A9 Yes, because most (all?) of us here are life-long learners.
My challenge 4 you! Invite a non-Twitter friend to the next chat. Here’s a helpful video on getting started: https://t.co/PGSdzNqtDN
Great Chicken or the Egg question!
A7: Best PD for me when learning a new way is to see it in action. Real classroom and kids doing what I want to learn, doing it well
A9) IMO when it is used like this, or similar, yes. To post fun or meaningless comments for entertainment, no.
A9 Yes/No just like any tool. It works best in the hands of a skilled master, but even a novice can be successful sometimes
A9: I have made the choice to connect with fellow educators and I've gained so many new perspectives... https://t.co/j2PtCsOCMo
A8- finding time to stay on top of new tech. Pulled in so many directions in my job and family https://t.co/mfufWUHq5e
Q8: Are there challenges to implementing blended learning or personalized learning? If so, what are they?
A9: It is for me! I can scroll my newsfeed and find PD that I need or interest me
definitely provides instruction to prepare future Admin to lead in PL & BL. https://t.co/oVjF7mZDJR
A7 Answering Q7 with a Q: Is current teacher prep in college preparing new teachers for BL and PL? How about Admin degree programs?
a9 if the learner makes choices.. I bow out sometimes when a chat is too directed. for example..and find new ones when needed
A9: 1/2 it's not anywhere near the top of the list Of things I think Twitter is... But it could be I guess https://t.co/UiHVIQHSW7
You misunderstood. Not pointing a finger. Curious where the value is placed. If it has value, it has place, right?
A9) Yes. I've customized it to show me the things I'm interested in learning about
So much PD on this and topics similar on Twitter...take it and run with it! (Easy for me to say I teach 1st grade. 😀)
A7: Wow... Way too much to address in 140 characters. Sorry, I know that's a cop out, but this requires a lot of context to answer.
But I just had this talk with BC we get together for "PD"! 😂😂
A9: sort of - it allows personalized interests. Social media is a crutch for PL - Ss are engaged with usage https://t.co/fiFiSjCtUy
Q9: Do you consider Twitter to be a form of personalized learning? Why or why not?
A9: See what you did there. I would say yes and depends on the person. But some people have refused to learn Twitter bcuz it is PL
Hi friends! Sorry I missed the chat. Scrolling through to catch up. Was celebrating back-to-school with teachers & volunteers!
Q8 Big yes! My choice to join tonight's chat, my space and my device! Twitter meets the criteria!
It can be a tool for personal learning. By itself twitter is not a FORM of personalized learning https://t.co/wGjglq8XL5
Q9: Do you consider Twitter to be a form of personalized learning? Why or why not?
Glad to see so many joining tonight. You guys set the bar and I am lucky to work with you
A9: Most definitely. Learner choice and allows for both on/off line conversation that carries it past the initial questions we seek.
it would be good to make that time during testing more useful
Welcome! Glad you were able to say hi! We're talking & https://t.co/pph9CKSqbn
Hi friends! Sorry I missed the chat. Scrolling through to catch up. Was celebrating back-to-school with teachers & volunteers!
A9 Yes, of course. I wouldn't know this stuff existed and that others were thinking and talking about it.
Excellent point. I'll revise my answer: Twitter = NO, = yes https://t.co/iUIpOSBQSY
It can be a tool for personal learning. By itself twitter is not a FORM of personalized learning https://t.co/wGjglq8XL5
Q9: Do you consider Twitter to be a form of personalized learning? Why or why not?
Not all of higher ed is that way.
A9- personally I learn a lot from Twitter, so yes 😉 https://t.co/4iGWblFzg1
Q9: Do you consider Twitter to be a form of personalized learning? Why or why not?
A9: Yes, I can follow or search for topics relating to my subject area. Great PL.
OSU focuses on PBL&edtech. th frustration is that there isn't always Ts n the field to model behavior for the Ss 2 observe
A9 it can be. It is an opportunity to learn from practitioners from all over the world from your classroom or livingroom.
A9 Absolutely ! I follow and participate in convos that are meaningful to me.
A10: Still confused on what PL and BL and the other letters mean exactly and where one becomes the other, but I think I do them some
A9: Of course. My #1 choice and tool for curating my PD
Takeaway: I can't wait to teach my Ss to submit electronically If that suits them, & differentiate for the others.
true. Not even all profs in traditional programs.
A9: It's an avenue, like Google. Driver determines the path/depth of involvement
This needs to be addressed before you get them. We need to get them started in elem. 😀
A7- what If a faculty meeting utilized personalized learning? we learn by doing
Here is the list of ?s w/ the resources I tweeted out, feel free to reach out w/ ?s https://t.co/Cf6in3eMct https://t.co/qDOFjEvvdn
A10: Still confused on what PL and BL and the other letters mean exactly and where one becomes the other, but I think I do them some
A9: Yes I've learned a lot tonight and will leave the chat wanting to know more, wanting action toward PL BL https://t.co/QyRQ4P0UN1
Q9: Do you consider Twitter to be a form of personalized learning? Why or why not?
Just BC I am excited about a tool I have to remember it may be new and scary to my Students. It's my job 2 teach how they learn.
A low-tech personalized/individualized learning tool: Ask students to STUDY wrong answer, FIND mistake, then CORRECT it.
I'm lucky to be in a district with so much tech and support for differentiated instruction. how can I get better....
A10 I learned some new thoughts about blended learning and technology's role.
A10 - I still need a better grasp on BL
Yes start with admin modeling https://t.co/adYWC5MKcT
A7- what If a faculty meeting utilized personalized learning? we learn by doing
We call that debugging in web development! It's an essential skill!
and that is a great big old fat myth. "digital native" is a theory that doesn't consider how Ss know/don't know tech
This would Awesome and why I started doing with the Administrators last semester.
Great chat have a wonderful week!
A10: More T's are starting to consider PL than I thought. But, what would be baby steps to get it started and not jump in.
How are you each going to take tonight's discussion and make it an action in your class or building?
Highly effective too. Amazing how many want to walk away from mistake rather than fix the misconception https://t.co/NW6dcpz92G
A low-tech personalized/individualized learning tool: Ask students to STUDY wrong answer, FIND mistake, then CORRECT it.
great chat, good pace! Thanks for hosting
A10: Never lose my passion for my Ss. I want them to LOVE learning and never stop learning!
