Personalized Learning

Montgomery, B. & Madda, M.J. (Feb 14, 2016). Personalized Learning: A Waste of Time, or the Answer to America's Education Issues? Retrieved from

Summary: Two opposing viewpoints are highlighted in this podcast.  One argues that growth mindset is key framework in which to build student success, and the personalized learning model can be used to leverage it.  The other view cautions using Personalized Learning as he believed it is a buzz word in education, as is growth mindset.  He asserts that both ideas have not yet proven themselves as measurable for effectiveness or student growth, and will lead to less accountability if adopted too quickly.   

Rating: I really enjoyed the opposing viewpoints shared.  The discussion prompted many thoughts and question about edtech.
