Personalized learning is based around students' own personal interests and their natural ability to learn in order to develop their skills further and increase engagement in class. But the question remains, how can educators create an environment that enables this framework in a practical way for every student in the classroom? Join Kathleen McClaskey as she presents a way to approach personalized learning to help you determine how your students learn best and to help you to create an environment through the UDL lens of "access, engage, and express." In addition, Martin McKay will outline how to identify the right tools that minimize barriers and maximize learning for all your students. He'll also cover what ed-tech trends and tools are paving the way for the future of personalized learning.

Exploring the
Impact of Digital Ink in the Classroom
IDC recently conducted a K-12 teacher survey on their
use of
technology in the classroom, and specifically their use of a
stylus-based device as a teaching tool. Of the teachers using a
digital
inking device, 90 percent reported improved quality of
curriculum materials,
and 67 percent said it increased class
preparation time.
With an ever-increasing range of classroom device
options,
school leaders should consider devices that will most directly
support authentic and efficient student-teacher engagement
and reduce time
spent on nonteaching-related activities. In this
webinar, you'll learn about teacher-reported benefits on using ink
in the classroom and how it enables
instant student feedback at
the "teachable moment." Hear how using
a device with an active
stylus provides the personalization and flexibility
of a pen and paper,
and the immediacy of instant messaging to open and maintain
personal connections at the precise moment students
would be receptive to
feedback, thus enabling better learning.
