Personalized Learning - K-12 Education
When learning is personalized, teachers help students find what they like and want to learn about and what their strengths and needs are. Then, the teacher sets up projects that are in line with the students’ interest and with academic standards. This growing movement is focused on changing the learning environment so students can take more ownership of their learning and teachers can work with them to discover their passions and interests. The breakthrough idea in personalized learning is the striking shift in the teacher-student team. In personalized learning, the teacher-student bond doesn’t matter less; it matters more. In November 2014, the Foundation released an interim report from the RAND Corporation—the first in what will be a series of research reports based on an ongoing long-term study of foundation-funded schools that are using a variety of approaches to personalized learning.

How to Create a Robust and Meaningful Personal Learning Network [PLN]
This post describes how educators can develop a personal learning network that supports meaningful and relevant learning. The MOOC, Education Technology & Media, etmooc, is used here as a working example of how to develop a PLN. “My Personal Learning Network is the key to keeping me up-to-date with all the changes that are happening in education and how technology can best support and engage today’s students.” Brian Metcalfe: teacher, blogger at lifelonglearners.com A visual image of participants in an open, online course- etmooc, which shows the potential to find and create personal connections as part of one’s PLN. (image credit: Alec Couros) I wrote a post recently about how to develop a personal learning environment [PLE], the need and benefits of doing so, for educators in particular. What is a PLN?

Competency-Based Learning or Personalized Learning
Transitioning away from seat time, in favor of a structure that creates flexibility, allows students to progress as they demonstrate mastery of academic content, regardless of time, place, or pace of learning. Competency-based strategies provide flexibility in the way that credit can be earned or awarded, and provide students with personalized learning opportunities. These strategies include online and blended learning, dual enrollment and early college high schools, project-based and community-based learning, and credit recovery, among others. This type of learning leads to better student engagement because the content is relevant to each student and tailored to their unique needs. By enabling students to master skills at their own pace, competency-based learning systems help to save both time and money.

«Después de dos días, nos devolverá la vida, al tercero nos levantará y viviremos en su presencia» (Oseas 6,2). Limen es umbral en latín. Un «espacio liminal » es el tiempo crucial intermedio, donde todo realmente sucede aunque parece que nada ocurre. Es el tiempo de espera mientras se hace el pastel, el movimiento se realiza y la transformación se lleva a cabo. Uno no puede saltar del viernes al domingo en este caso, ¡tiene que haber un sábado! Para todos nosotros este es «tiempo de entrega » necesario, donde el alma y el Espíritu se reúnen con el cuerpo. «Ellos pusieron el cuerpo en un sepulcro excavado en roca, y taparon la entrada con una piedra», dice el Evangelio según San Marcos. Esta noche la Iglesia celebrará la liturgia central de todo el año eclesial. Terminaré con esto, para que así puedas confiar tu vida a un paso que va más allá de cualquiera de mis palabras que tratan de llevarte allá, o alguna prueba de que esto realmente le sucedió a Jesús.
Personal learning network
A personal learning network is an informal learning network that consists of the people a learner interacts with and derives knowledge from in a personal learning environment. In a PLN, a person makes a connection with another person with the specific intent that some type of learning will occur because of that connection.[1][2] The following is an excerpt from Dryden's and Vos' book on learning networks:[4] "For the first time in history, we know now how to store virtually all humanity's most important information and make it available, almost instantly, in almost any form, to almost anyone on earth. We also know how to do that in great new ways so that people can interact with it , and learn from it." Personal learning networks share a close association with the concept of personal learning environments. Aspects[edit] PLNs are becoming an important part of professional development in several fields with some businesses creating their own e-learning content and PLEs for their employees.
