Abstract

A diverse, urban district’s Personalized Learning Initiative (PLI), committed to transforming instructional tasks through integration of technology, created spaces for collaboration, voice and choice for the PLI teachers and students in the PLI classrooms. The teachers and students expressed using various web-based technologies for collaboration with their peers, having more choices in teaching and learning and voice in making instructional decisions using technology. Through meaningful integration of technology, there was a focus on designing higher quality learning opportunities that would result in teaching practices that realize student’s full potentials. The PLI’s aims include accelerating transformation of learning experiences for all students and preparing future teachers of the valley with necessary competencies to practice in a personalized learning environment using technology.
