No two students are the same; each brings their own interests, learning modalities, strengths, and prior knowledge of the topic at hand. Addressing students’ individual learning needs in the classroom has always been a key challenge for educators—but new instructional technologies can help.
With student polling software, for instance, teachers can get an accurate, immediate view of each learner’s progress—a concept known as “feedback for learning”—and can tailor their instruction to meet students’ individual needs in real time. And putting mobile technology in the hands of every child allows students to explore their own interests and opens a whole world of self-guided instruction.
With the generous support of Promethean, we’ve assembled this collection of stories to help you use technology to personalize learning for students in your own schools.
