This past week I offered a lunchtime professional learning opportunity. I set up learning stations for a rotation and personalized learning experience in the library, as teachers would be coming in during a 90-minute window. To get a feel for their experience, please see below for photographs of the stations as the teachers entered the library. A big part of the learning opportunity was to give teachers a choice over which stations to experience and some control over time as to when they visited while providing information in several modalities, thus supporting Universal Design for Learning. My goal is to share our ongoing message that iPads can be used in multiple ways to support the learning needs of our students while also providing an example of what personalized learning can look like. While this station rotation model was face-to-face (F2F), we can also design a hybrid model of F2F and virtual learning resources for students and teachers. Apologies for the formatting below, as HTML is not friendly with images and text. 🙂
