3. 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
4. Why make a shift?
The Factory Model of the 19th Century no longer
applies in our rapidly changing world.
5. 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
6. 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
7. The teacher is a co-designer and partner in learning
The teacher is no longer the “keeper and dispenser of
the knowledge”
8. The classroom is technology rich and allows for
anywhere/anytime learning
9. “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
10. “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in
creative expression and knowledge.”
- Albert Einstein
11. 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
12. Personalized Learning is
necessary because…
”Upon our children - how they are taught - rests the
fate - or fortune - of tomorrow's world.”
B. C. Forbes
