Building a Safe Personalized Learning Community with Andy and Leo

Design and Implementation

More than Cool: FETC's Discussions on EdTech with Leading Educators

How do we advance current curriculum and pedagogy to embrace modern learning, communication styles and techniques? How do we make technology in our schools meaningful to learners, teachers, and the community at large? The Integrated Learning Ecosystem is the blank canvas that when used in our classrooms could provide better insight into the type of material, activities, and environments our learners respond and engage, hence actually personalizing learning.

Join Andy and Leo in a conversation on how using meaningful technology strategies and standards within our schools will not only empower our teachers and learners but the learning community as a whole. We will cover the merging of next generation pedagogy, open education resources, common assessments, and project based learning can not only, reach learners in new ways, but also, push the limits of the learning.

Participants will share with each other and with Andy and Leo:

  1. experiences about the challenges we all face in education.
  2. the ways we have all leveraged technology and pedagogy to meet the needs and work wit the challenges we discussed in item 1.
  3. strategies on using the technology effectively to make it disappear and focus on the needs of learning.
  4. strategies we can leverage to entice our learning communities to embrace a model of growth where change is learning and learning is what we do

This interactive participatory session is for educators, administrators, and tech leaders, and is a preview of their session at FETC, where they will work with IT staff.
