Are we over-explaining personalized learning? And a challenge to our sister pod!

Matt and Courtney talk about personalized learning, but only using the most used ten hundred words. We think it might explain a lot about what it is and what it isn't.

The inspiration came from the great xkcd, specifically this image: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/up_goer_five.png

Maine Education Matters, you've been challenged.

Assessment and Learning is a Mobius Strip

Matt and Courtney ask what we need to know about what learners know. In that, we talk about how assessment and learning are a giant Mobius strip.

Update.  Courtney went and searched, and searched.  At first it could not be found.  Then an internet miracle! She found it again! You can read the blog from 2012 (wow) here.
