Clarity Innovations Authors a Guide for Effectively Using Technology to Personalize Learning
Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) September 24, 2014 -- With investments in instructional materials, textbooks, and technology by K-12 schools in the United States topping $13 billion annually, educators are seeking high-quality professional development resources to ensure its use leads to an improvement in student achievement. Clarity Innovations wrote this guide to help address this need.
Written by Peggy Grant and Dale Basye of Clarity Innovations, the guide describes in actionable detail how to plan and implement “one-to-one” learning, where each student uses a device in the classroom, to inform and enhance their individual learning in ways not possible without technology. The guide addresses the needs of all learners — from gifted students to those challenged by learning disabilities and gives school leaders a step-by-step action plan for their school. An accompanying workshop facilitation guide and teacher handbook is also available to download free of charge on the K-12 Blueprint website: http://www.k12blueprint.com/personalized-learning-guide.
“What better way to help accomplish our mission than to write a guide that speaks directly to the needs of the classroom teacher looking to implement technology effectively? To me, it’s imperative that we support educators with the resources necessary to accomplish this,” explains R. Thor Prichard, CEO of Clarity Innovations.
The unique combination of expertise at Clarity Innovations, from individuals like Grant and Bayse, is what made this guide possible—and popular with educators. Each of the authors brings a unique perspective on ways to engage students with technology. It’s this blended expertise, drawing on classroom practitioners, trainers, instructional designers, product managers and software engineers, that gives Clarity Innovations a unique perspective and approach to its mission of improving the process and practice of teaching.
