March 2014 — Putting the 'Person' in Personalized
Our education system is a one size fits some environment. What happens as we move towards personalized learning and what opportunities are available for educators, administrators, students and parents? Personalized learning has been constructed around our traditional beliefs of what it means to educate. Often times people think of it as a process that that we do to someone. What does a successful implementation of personalized learning look like? Does the learner take more responsibility for their learning? Inherently, as the role of the student changes, so does that of the teacher. What is the role of technology in mediating and moderating that process, as well as handling issues of accountability, resource identification and communication?

Everyone’s buzzing about personalized learning, but how can we put the person in personalized learning? Join Michael Jay and guests as they discuss what personalized learning means for education and what steps we need to take today to support this idea for educating our youth.
