Personalizing Learning with School 21 on Edmodo
Description
School 21 personalizes learning with a combination of adaptive assessment, adaptive learning, game-like incentives and teacher reports. On Edmodo, School 21 becomes even more powerful by integrating with Edmodo's rich communication and social technologies. As of the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year, thousands of students are using School 21 for Grade 6 Common Core Math, Grade 7 Common Core Math, Grade 8 Common Core Math, Pre-Algebra and Algebra. This presentation/discussion will describe how students and teachers benefit from the combination of School 21 and Edmodo, and will address some of the most important questions about how personalized education can best be achieved for every student.

What's in it for teachers, administrators, parents and, most of all, students? What timeline is realistic to achieve our vision?
