Personalized Learning and Blended Learning



Students in Ms. Howton's class were sharing their year end projects in a blended learning class at Mount Pleasant High School. She is a Gates Foundation Award winning teacher who takes her lesson planning and her work to heart.  When I visited her class there were small groups of 9th graders collaborating and creating.  Many of her lessons are on Schoology and she plans to work on more units this summer.

The term personalized learning, or personalization, refers to a diverse variety of educational programs, learning experiences, instructional approaches, and academic-support strategies that are intended to address the distinct learning needs, interests, aspirations, or cultural backgrounds of individual students. 

Blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through delivery of content and instruction via digital and online media with some element of student control over time, place, path, or pace. (Wikipedia).
