VISIBLE LEARNING - A Window to the Work
|
This inquiry began with the invitation to participate in an open, online course to discover more about personalized learning. There are several elements required for successful completion and I will collect and share these contributions here. This will also be a collection of resources and references relevant to this topic.

During this first week, we were introduced to the topics, the course content, a schedule of activities for the five weeks, and introduced ourselves to the other participants. I created an interactive map to build community since I was amazed at the global reach of this MOOC.

For this week's activities, I created a concept map, engaged in twitter, participated in a padlet discussion wrote a blog post, posted in the discussion forum and responded to other's posts.

I choose module three since it looked at developing personal learning plans. This involved reading, writing a discussion post, responding to discussion posts, creating a personalized learning plan template and sharing it. Optional tasks included tweets & a twitter chat.

|
I selected module five - teaching strategies for personalized learning. First I brainstormed ideas. Then I created digital content (web site page) to outline a personalized plan. I shared this plan in the discussion forum, adding an explanation and a question. Then I commented on work submitted by others.

For the final week of this course, I worked to create an open-work project that connected to my own instruction. It continued from the personal learning plans created in week three and extended the teaching strategies begun in week four. I also participated in reviewing and capturing links to some of the projects and materials that others had created and shared.
