How should we approach learning?

No more differentiated instruction....
What we really need to help occur
in classroom is differentiated
"learning".

This accomplishes the student
ownership of the learning, allows for
a passion-driven approach, shifts
the responsibility for the learning to

the learner (where it belongs) and
changes the teachers role....

Educator blog - http://goo.gl/KkAYq

Learning – a social endeavor or an
independent activity...or both?

Are we absolving teachers
from being lifelong learners
when we put the
responsibility on student

How does learning work for you?

Ipad Apps
Using Blooms
Taxonomy in
education is a highly
effective way to

scaffold learning for
the students.
With the recent
popularity and
pervasive nature of
iOS devices in school
districts it is essential
for educators to
understand how to
implement Blooms in
the classroom using
the apps that are
available. Source: https://sites.google.com/site/

Is the reason why Moodle
and iPad apps are popular
is because we have some
semblance of control?

...teachers confide that they can't
possibly create 32 different lessons
for each of their students...When we
give up control and empower the

students to learn the way they want
with the tools they want, the results
are terrific and the students are
partners with their teacher in
designing learning methods, tools,
and environments that are best for
them.

Learning – a social endeavor or an
independent activity...or both?

Is the plethora of tools...overwhelming?

Share in the chat how many of the tools
above YOU know how to use.

How many tools are blocked in schools?

Is Moodle a
“trojan horse”

that we can use
to introduce K-12
and adult
learners to new
technologies in a
“safe, controlled
learning
environment?”

If the focus should be on differentiated
learning—rather than instruction--why use a
course management system like Moodle?

Pros Cons

"This introductory course has greatly influenced how I feel
about online learning. Although I was very nervous at first it
has clearly given me the self confindence to take on a course
of this nature.

In addition this course has given me the opportunity to
reflect on my own experiences and evaluate those skills I
already had.

I encourage anyone who is skeptical about an online course
to embrace it with open arms and reap the benefits it has to
offer."

--Adult Learner in San Antonio ISD

"I know that I am an
independent learner, but
I also know that I am
one to respond

positively through
active conversation with
others. I felt that the
only way to do that was
Watch video of adult in a traditional
online learners at http:// classroom; now I
goo.gl/ANy06
understand that I can
have that active
conversation through
others' comments and
postings."

What is the

purpose of
professional
learning in your
district?

Often, professional
development in schools
is ONE WAY.

The purpose isn't to help
people learn, it's to push
a certain agenda or
instructional program...a
way of standardizing
teaching and learning,
making it idiot-proof.

"Is the checklist we
operate from, our
scope and sequence

of traditional; skills
and lessons, enough
for our students to
invent, create,
collaborate, and solve
their own problems?"
