Before coming to class I didn’t have any clue at what personalized learning was. I could put two and two together that it is learning through some sort of personalized way. I thought it had something to do with teaching students in a way that they can learn through what they like or in different ways of learning instead of lecturing. I don’t know the exact definition of personalized learning or what ways I could use it in the elementary setting. Some things that I am curious about is what the definition of personalized learning is, how can I use this in the elementary classroom, and how do you assess the students. I think once I prepare for class and sit in class with my classmates a lot of my questions will be answered.
When preparing for class I was able to watch a video from YouTube that I got to explain what personalized learning was. I also got to watch the videos that my classmates explained. When looking at the resources my teacher left me I was able to learn more ways to use this in the classroom, ways it can be useful in the classroom, and what accommodations I can use for each student. Preparing for class helped me learn more about personalized learning and helped me be able to talk to my classmates about what I learned. Howton, Robyn.

Web. 09 Nov. 2015. https://www.iste.org/explore/articleDetail?articleid=416&category=In-the-classroom&article= On this website it gives you the definition of what personalized learning is. It gives you five reasons of what personalized learning is like, learn from others, use the technology you have, let the students make choices, choose the best content delivery method, and assess as you go. It also talks about ways you can pull all this together. I believe this is a good website because it gives you a clear definition of what personalized learning is, ways to use it in the classroom, and how to tie it all together in the classroom.

I think this is a good website for teachers that want to know more about personalized learning. It also gives you examples of ways to used personalized learning in the classroom. And it also gives you debates that may come out when talking about personalized learning. Some things I learned about this week in class was what personalized learning was and different ways I could use this in the classroom that I didn’t think of. I learned about accommodations that I could use when teaching to the students in my classroom. Working together with my group we talked about ways personalized learning is like a flipped classroom. Using personalized learning can help the students in the long run. Not every student is average so we shouldn’t accommodate to things that are average. We need to accommodate to students that need different ways of learning. No one learns the same way and using personalized learning gives students the way they like to learn. My understandings about this topic changed throughout the learning process. In the beginning I didn’t think that this was a successful way to teach children. Making a different lesson plan for each student may be a little excessive. But after researching a little bit more about this I thought it was a good idea to use in the classroom. Every student should learn about a subject in a way that they are comfortable with and can learn a subject through that learning. I believe that I will use this in my classroom when I become a teacher.
