Dive Brief:
- A new report, "Technology-Enabled Personalized Learning: Findings and Recommendations to Accelerate Implementation," gives administrators advice and insight on how to use technology to facilitate personalized learning.
- The report was created based off the the recommendations and observations of over 100 educators who gathered last year for the TEPL summit at North Carolina State University's Friday Institute for Educational Innovation.
- The report helps users work towards goals based around: data, content and curriculum, technology architecture, research and development, and human capacity.
Dive Insight:
Some of the main concerns addressed in the paper center around student data protection and the creation of technology standards. There is also emphasis on more professional development as the role of the educator shifts from presenter of knowledge to facilitator.
While conferences and reports like this encourage schools to go 1:1, there is still a counter camp skeptical of what the world will look like "when computers take over for teachers."
