Last week was an exciting time for the ILE Department, and it culminated Saturday morning with the Second Annual Personalized Learning (PL) Summit held at Ramona High School. Even though it was a gloomy morning, a large turnout of educators joined us to learn more about personalized learning.
The Summit began with an inspiring keynote from Anthony Kim, the CEO of Ed Elements followed by the audience moving onto their choice of multiple sessions that were led by RUSD educators and members of the Ed Elements team.
A popular choice was the Digital Playground. Power users of Haiku and Gooru from the RUSD family provided one on one guidance to teachers as they explored how to use the web 2.0 tools that are available to them.
Other sessions included a Blended Learning Simulation, Google Docs, the 5 Elements of PL, Gooru, and Supporting Teachers in PL. The event also welcomed educators from other districts such as neighboring Jurupa Unified to as far as Desert Sands School District. This summit provided a time for educators on the forefront of change to get together, learn, and leave with excitement as they head back to their sites with the knowledge they gained throughout the day, "I like the opportunity to share and listen to others in the district on how they are implementing personalized learning - as well as their successes and struggles. I loved getting concrete ideas about how to use personalized learning in my classroom."
