Denise Lombardo's insight:
These could also serve as great writing prompts, or for students to work from oral to written to develop language skills in both areas. Many of the questions could be re-written as topic snentences/thesis statements and used as a daily edit/daily writing prompt to foster literacy skill development. thanks for sharing!

ISTE Learning & Leading with Technology (May Issue) features "A Step-by-Step Guide to Personalize Learning". Via Kathleen McClaskey
Denise Lombardo's insight:
Great article - makes clear the difference between differentiation, individualisation and personalisation - and also clearly lays out some ways to gradually lead your students - and your teaching - towards more personalised approaches for your students. Great framework for those keen on potential of PBL/Design Thinking but wanting to know how to get from where they are now to where they want their class/students to be.

This Feature Article by Barbara Bray and Kathleen McClaskey provides the background on what is and what is not Personalized Learning, the Stages of Personalized Learning that impacts teacher and learner roles, and the process using the six steps to personalize learning in a Stage One PLE (Personalized Learning Environment).

Education is something that many people need to do better in society. Without it, it would be very difficult to find a job that can feed your family. If the sole bread winner of a family loses the job and become poor, it will affects the whole family. If there are children who are studying in school, they will also be affected. It will affect them in the academic results, being anti-social, thinking of negative thoughts all day. They may also be late for school or sleep in class, as they want to help the family to do something, by working. By having a part-time job, it loses time that are meant for studying. Therefore, leading them to drop out of sch. Thus affecting their future. But if they work hard, i believe that they can do better in life.

Education is one of the most important thing in life and it matters alot. Without it you would not be able to get a proper job and a proper salary. I thought poverty only affects in food, water and socially for a child but i was surprise that education plays a big part when your are poor and it is a big challenge to overcome it. This will afftect the students studying in the school. He will have negative thoughts about himself and will be anti social. They are doing part time job while studying and it will really afect thier studies as it is difficult to multitask.Eventually they drop out or do badly. Hence if they work hard with the right midset, they can definely succeed Delete the scoop?

Homeschool FL's curator insight,
June 2, 8:33 PM
Educational apps are popping up daily, but the question for parents is, how to know which ones are worth using, and which ones are not? Because let's face it, the app industry is out to make money, and many times app developers are very astute at making an app that "looks" educational, but in reality is just full of ads and sneaky ways of getting your children to buy something.
This article lists 46 different websites that review apps for teachers and students. This should help cut through the clutter and help pinpoint the useful from the fluff. Delete the scoop?
