4Why Personalized Learning?
The following content is a direct quote from: Project Tomorrow, (2012). Mapping a personalized learning journey: K12 students and parents connect the dots with digital learning . Retrieved from Speak Up 2011 website: http://www.tomorrow.org/speakup/pdfs/SU11_PersonalizedLearning_Students.pdf
DIY learning – how students are personalizing learning outside of school
As evidenced by the data on collaborative writing, students are increasingly approaching their education from a DIY (Do It Yourself) perspective, whether that is driven by interests in academic areas that are not covered in classroom curriculum, a desire to leverage peer or expert knowledge, productivity needs, or concerns they have about the quality of their traditional education to adequately prepare them for the future. Of special note is how the students are first adopting and then, adapting various emerging technologies to support this self-directed learning. For example:
- 1 in 10 students in grades 6-12 have sent out a Tweet about an academic topic that interests them
- 15 percent have informally tutored other students online or found an expert to help them with their own questions
- 18 percent have taken an online assessment to evaluate their own self-knowledge
- One-fifth have used a mobile app to organize their school work
- 1 in 4 have used a video that they found online to help with homework
- 30 percent of middle school students and 46 percent of high school students have used Facebook as an impromptu collaboration tool for classroom projects
- Almost half of the high school students have sought out information online to help them better understand a topic that is being studied in class
