Three Pillars of Educational Technology: Learning Management Systems, Social Media, and Personal Learning Environments
http://teachonline.ca/tools-trends/how-use-technology-effectively/three-pillars-educational-technology/three-pillars-educational-technology-learning-management-systems-social-mediaThe article that is linked above was an interesting read about Learning Management Systems. The history and improvements of LMS is discussed. The different applications for classroom use are also examined. I found it interesting that LMS is being used during physical classrooms as well as virtual classrooms. I thought they would be only used virtually like we are doing now.
Dipping Your Toes into Personalized Learning
http://www.personalizelearning.com/2016/10/dipping-your-toes-into-personalized.htmlThis is a blog that is set up to help teachers set up and use Personalized Learning. I particularly found the chart that compares personalized learning and differential learning useful to help me know the difference. This blog is set up like a chat, and I bookmarked the site to use for later incase I have questions on how to implement personalized learning into my classroom.
I didn't realize that LMS was used in physical classrooms either. It does seem that using LMS in the classroom would be helpful by allowing students to work at their own pace. Also, the electronic documentation of student work would be very helpful for the teacher.
