100 Examples of "Personalized" Learning. How to Create a Portfolio with Evernote (Education Series) Bio Rob is a teacher at Trillium Charter School in Portland, where he primarily instructs students aged 8-11. He has been working to develop online portfolios with students for the past six years and has taught in private schools, traditional public schools and public charter schools for the past 15 years. I use Evernote, Everywhere: iPhoneiPod TouchiPadMacWindows E-Portfolios: a student’s project warehouse and progress tracker I started teaching 15 years ago and that is when I first came across this concept of a ‘portfolio.’ Initially, I had my students create paper portfolios. We had a bin where we’d put these documents and at the end of the year, they’d have 10-20 pieces that they’d take with them into the next school year.
After spending years with paper portfolios, I’ve transitioned this concept into digital form, and have started to implement Evernote as the primarily system for creating portfolios in my classroom.

Cool Cat Teacher Blog: Why we need eFolios in schools #iste12 #socialedcon. 7 principles of learning design.
In this blog post I want to describe seven principles of learning design. I would welcome comments. Are there any others I have missed for example? The first is that teachers are bewildered by the plethora of tools available and lack the skills necessary to make informed learning design decisions. Therefore a key facet of all the tools is that they attempt to provide practitioners with some form of guidance and support around their design practice. The aim is to help them shift from an implicit, belief-based approach to design to one that is more explicit and design-based (Conole 2009). The second is that many of the tools use the power of visualisation as a means of representing the designs. The third is that there is a tension between design representations that are rigorous, precise and perhaps machine runnable and those that are more creative, ‘fluffy’ and nearer to real practice.

Conole, G. (2009). Opportunity for Innovation | School Improvement Network. Personalized Learning in the Common Core By Amy Esselman For years classroom learning has focused on how teachers can best convey concepts and topics to their students. When we get down to the application, a “focus on concepts and topics” really just means that we prepare students for tests. This method works—sometimes—especially if students are “on par,” according to the latest standards or legislation.
What happens, however, if a student doesn’t understand, needs extra help, or falls behind? With the implementation of the Common Core growing around the country, the idea of personalized learning has started to resonate with teachers. The Common Core Standards’ primary purpose—finally—is the same as your own: college and career readiness.
That brings us to the link between the Standards and personalized learning. With the implementation of the Common Core on the horizon, a window of opportunity for personalized learning and educational innovation has been created. Kunskapsskolan. Personalized Learning – Swedish Style « June 14, 2012 by cultureofyes In the middle of an industrial park just outside of Stockholm is one of Sweden’s top-performing schools – Kunskapsskolan Tyresö. It is part of a network of 33 Kunskapsskolan schools in Sweden – all funded by a public school voucher system (Sweden has a national voucher model), and has no tuition, accepting students on a first-come, first-served basis. Having just spent some time with several colleagues who attended High Tech High, in San Diego, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities in the stories they told (Here is a post by Gary Kern and by Lynne Tomlinson) about their experiences.
The physical plant itself is modest. The particular school we visited was in the midst of an industrial park in a converted factory; other schools in the network have taken older office buildings, or leasable space, and have converted them into schools. One is struck by the fact every square foot in the building is used. Here is Eiken’s full presentation: Like this: Ten Tips for Personalized Learning via Technology. At Forest Lake Elementary School, in Columbia, South Carolina, the student population grows more diverse by the day. Income levels, ethnicities, family structures, first languages, interests, and abilities now vary so much, that a traditional teaching approach, with a uniform lesson targeted to the average-level student, just doesn't cut it. (Sound familiar to you educators out there?) To challenge and support each child at his or her own level, the Forest Lake teachers and staff are deploying a powerful array of widely available digital-technology tools.
Each classroom is equipped with an interactive whiteboard and a Tech Zone of eight Internet-enabled computers. Plus, teachers have access to gadgets including digital cameras, Flip cameras, remote-response clickers, and PDAs. More important than the gadgets themselves, of course, is how the teachers use them to create personalized lessons and a productive environment where each child is engaged. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

From wire service reports Read more by staff and wire services reports Sixth graders at Waukesha STEM Academy work on an exploration related to baseball marketing for class. (Angela Peterson/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/MCT) Last year, Kim Crosby spent about 80 percent of her class time teaching math concepts at Waukesha STEM Academy in Wisconsin.
For the other 20 percent, she helped students individually. This year, that time was reversed: 80 percent of her class time was spent moving from student to student; about one-fifth continued to be a standard lecture format. “To me, this makes more sense,” Crosby said. When it comes to challenging traditional ideas about how schools should operate, this two-year-old charter school is building a reputation with a curriculum that focuses on science, technology, engineering, and math, and where student schedules can change every day.
It might sound like too much freedom for middle-schoolers, but not to Principal Ryan Krohn.
