possibilities for a formal Renaissance-Man-Liberal-Arts education remain limited to the elite. The average, or common, student is encouraged to choose majors and institutions that track into a specialized vocation.

MincraftEDU and SimCityEDU provide flexible options for integrating familiar games with traditional classroom curriculum.

The ability to apply knowledge across disciplines is important, but it is not enough. It is important to combine that knowledge with strong social and emotional skills that serve as the foundation for good citizenship in the 21st Century.

personalized learning and achievement gap

https://www.edsurge.com/news/2022-03-28-can-personalized-learning-be-scaled-to-ease-teacher-burdens-and-close-achievement-gaps

McGraw Hill Plus, a new tool, Focusing first on math and then expanding to ELA and science, its objective is to make personalized learning scalable.

Smith: The modern classroom sits at the intersection of blended learning, competency-based learning and personalized learning.

reimagine instructional time and use technology to scale personalized learning.

First, pulling data into one place is the key fundamental driver that will change the teacher workflow. Second, we need to manipulate that data into some advanced data visualization tools, so it’s easy for teachers to understand and use. Third, we need to be able to visualize student performance and take action on it.
Using these data analytics, we can drive personalized learning based on student performance. And the last thing is the automation of teacher workflow.

eachers get data visualization from different sources, such as an adaptive software solution like our ALEKS program, our Redbird Mathematics, or our recently acquired Achieve3000 Literacy.

UNDERSTANDING OF PEDAGOGY AND PRACTICE USING 360 DEGREE

Developing trainee teacher understanding of pedagogy and practice using 360 degree video and an interactive digital overlay

The context of 360-degree video in teacher education

Towards an understanding of pedagogic knowledge and practice

The project

The research project was framed as an interpretive case study undertaken with 23 Year 3 students on the BA primary education studies course; we adopted Stake’s (Stake , 1995) instrumental case study approach using examination of a particular context to facilitate wider understanding. The work was aligned with modules developing students’ English and maths pedagogical content knowledge across Key Stages 1 and 2. It comprised four stages:

STAGE 1: TEACHING RECORDED WITH 360-DEGREE VIDEO
STAGE 2: POST-TEACHING TEACHER REFLECTION
STAGE 3: CREATION OF INTERACTIVE 360-DEGREE EXPERIENCES IN VIRTUAL REALITY
STAGE 4: INDIVIDUAL STUDENT INTERVIEWS
