How it works:
This book club is online, with asynchronous discussions.
Discussions can be started in 2 ways:
1. You post a question or comment (by adding a new “question table”
2. Anthony Kim, author of the book, posts a question or discussion
And then everyone responds! No matter who posts - the goal is that as many people as possible contribute ideas
PS. Need a copy of the book? Go to the link below.
How it really works:
It is easy for something like this to die a slow death - with limited participation as people forget to log in. So our recommendation? Set aside time each week to log-in and see what’s going on in here! If your team has regular meetings - make it a goal for everyone to log in prior to your meeting or do it when you are all together?

Discussion Topic 3: On page 9, I start with the question "What is personalized learning and why does it matter?"
All educators want better outcomes but why is personalized learning relevant in the pursuit of student outcomes?
Robyn Lynn This is an awesome example of CCSS. I appreciated that the students were able to work on aproject that was meaningful to them as individuals. Passion for a subject generates motivation. Great work!
Thanks for sharing

Discussion Topic 6: What is the the future of teaching and what does the classroom look like? On page 32, I talk about different tech tools and where they fit on Bloom's.
Here is a short 2 minute video by Bloomberg showing an example of a class using a rotational model and multiple types of technology to support the instruction.
Nancy Allen-Mastro I am worried about the future of teaching. Teachers are tired, and it's no wonder. They are working harder than the students! This needs to change, or we will not attract people to the profession. Did anyone see this article about Millenials turning away from teaching? (See link below.) Personalizing learning holds the potential to motivate people to go into teaching for the great profession it is.
