Talking Teaching: Is personalized learning the future?
Summary
AI is embedded in various software and platforms with many companies’ founding vision to make students’ learning experiences more personal and successful. Other software (Newsela) actively promotes students’ literacy by providing texts at different difficulty levels to accommodate a variety of language skills. Personalized learning has proven to be difficult to apply in public school systems due to poor access to technology. There is a lot of potential for AI to be an aide for teachers to enable them to focus more on supporting students, however, we are not at a stage of completely self-guided learning yet. Our hope is that the community provides a way for educators to work together, get feedback from each other, and build stronger, more meaningful relationships in real-time, whether these are across campus or across the globe.
