Sparking Energized Learning Through Data-Driven Personalization and Gamification

Outline

-Using different sources of data to connect students with relevant learning activities to meet their individual needs [8 min]

-Former and Current Students share experiences with personalized and gamified activities [15 min]

-Q&A Time [7 min]

Outcomes

Attendees will learn how students benefitted from consistent personalized and gamified learning experiences to boost their engagement and performance. We will also show them how to aggregate and utilize data from a number of different sources such as IXL, Sumdog, Wayground (Quizizz), KaHoot!, MAP, Ellevation, Lexia Core, Unique Learning System, Prodigy, Edulastic, MobyMax, State Tests, and other district level SIS Systems. Our aim is to advocate the importance of serving the needs of all learners. This includes students considered to be mainstream, gifted, special needs, ELL, etc. We will show how this can be achieved specifically in full virtual, hybrid and in person learning.
