Mainly that personalized learning spent some time devolving into a definition of "computer adaptive testing" with assigned modules on a tablet/laptop...Too many #edtech firms sell it as a lie. #satchat
Greg McVerrykey to success in personalizedlearning also have those shared outcomes that can be taught across different pathways students choose, then build many, many (and two more) cognitive stops on the way to check progress and reflect #satchat
Greg McVerryI provide a sampler of every dish before I invite students up to the buffet line. As I scaffold learning they try each skillset but then specialize on a project of their choice. #satchat
Greg McVerryreflection, reflection, reflection. There is no #personalizedlearning without it. #satchat
Greg McVerryHey #satchat gentle reminder that sometimes the best thing we can do with student choice is provide constraints: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/03/24/you-teach-creativity-through-constrainst-cut-paths-through-the-rhizomes #personalizedlearning
Greg McVerrya3: pencil, paper. Full stop. #satchat
Greg McVerryPlease build in lessons on criticality into your #personalizedlearning, build in choice but include themes of examining power, privilege, and prejudice, focus on action. Critcal #literacies is action #satchat

Greg McVerry@EDUcre8ive Anyway to just bump the 30 day educator free trial to 60 day to get through semester? Easier than telling each person to fill our form requesting a free account.
Greg McVerryWow how amazing are the #EastHaddam Middle School Teachers.....Driving around in a parade, honking horns, and delivering "prize tickets" ...virtual....nobody broke physical distancing rules....Perfect example of supporting community!!
Greg McVerryA specter seeing the unseen apparition animated in angst. A poltergeist pouncing on possibilities in the revenant of revelry turns incorporeal innocence from night to day light to dark as the clock continues to click in those moments we must seek to wonder About another celestially sent Sensed in all that surrounds never abound, but bonded by love and wonder
Greg McVerryGiants of old hang tired, towering over a history past by. Branches bend and crumble under weight of knowing no spring will come now dwellings of decay a future robbed hordes of gypsies descended a pandemic in the canopy killing so many now empty Mausoleums of mourning
Greg McVerrySplintered pasts gather in concrete futures stolen glances of sun's march As two who never were come to be in glimpses of impossible destiny Interest aligned eyes locked destiny's knot unwound as feet wrestle fallen leaves Just as the dogs run determined to get nowhere at all, their paths can never cross Warmed by the pleasure of shared mystery history at th
Greg McVerryI sit restless As somber Solitude settles in House now as Asleep as streets Who cry in agony, lusting after lost Action Souls searching for Sounds upon empty Seas of forgotten misery
Greg McVerrySounds of home schooling lulling my attention to better spaces not sure. Maybe a metronome keeping time for the clarinet or a Pileated Pecker beating out a feast against the trees Strange harmonies in our home #smallpoems
