Using Technology to Personalize Learning in Elementary Schools

Advances in digital technology have created potential opportunities for schools to provide more individualized-learning experiences for students, including differentiated instruction and independent-learning projects. But what strategies can principals and instructional leaders at the elementary level use to ensure that classroom technology is integrated in ways that are meaningful and augment essential knowledge and skills?

In this webinar, two leaders in connected learning will explore that question, providing real-world examples of how elementary schools are redefining effective instruction around personalized-learning initiatives. The discussion will address differentiated instruction, formative assessment, blended learning, teacher professional development, and whole-school change.

Guests:

Matthew Renwick, principal, Howe Elementary School, Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.; author of forthcoming book Digital Student Portfolios: A Whole School Approach to Connected Learning & Continuous Assessment; and blogger, Reading by Example

Ben Wilkoff, co-director of blended learning, Denver school district; creator, Learning is Change
