Today we're going to talk about the birth of personal computing. Up until the early 1970s components were just too expensive, or underpowered, for making a useful computer for an individual, but this would begin to change with the introduction of the Altair 8800 in 1975. In the years that follow, we'll see the founding of Microsoft and Apple and the creation of the 1977 Trinity: The Apple II, Tandy TRS-80, and Commodore PET 2001. These new consumer oriented computers would become a huge hit, but arguably the biggest success of the era came with the release of the IBM PC in 1981. IBM completely changed the industry as its "IBM compatible" open architecture consolidated most of the industry except for, notably, Apple. Apple chose a closed architecture forming the basis of the Mac Vs PC debate that rages today. But in 1984, when Apple was losing marketshare fast it looked for a way to offer a new user experience like none other - which we'll discuss next week.

Within the attached document, you will find several links to "personal development" resources crafted over the years by Leanne Hintz, Regional Teacher for the Sun West Distance Learning Centre.Maintaining her blog entitled, Our Life Well Lived - Leanne Hintz, as well as publishing two books in 2020, has been Leanne's "side gig" for the last number of years. As she has learned and grown as a mother and as a human being, she's shared her reflections and her journey within the pages of this blog!  

Early in the year, have the students fill in the questionnaire and begin to think of activities they would enjoy participating in. This will help the teacher make decisions regarding class activities and individual time for students. Spend some time in a lab allowing students to find activities that will work on areas identified in their FITT plan (for example, if they want to improve their flexibility on the sit and reach by 10 cm, have them research exercises that increase flexibility). Students will add these exercises to their portfolio. Allow students time to work on their FITT plans during designated times throughout the year. Students can track results through FItstats fitness tests performed 5 times per year.

This resource provides a mini lesson on writing personal narratives, a requirement sheet for the assignment, a student checklist, a planning sheet for writing, and a rubric to assess the essay.

Summary
Personal portfolios will allow the students to use creativity to choose and show and share their strengths and personal portfolio.

Personal Portfolios
The object of the portfolio is to showcase yourself and your strengths as well as accomplishments. The portfolio should give the reader a clear overview of who you are as a person, your strengths, and why you should be chosen for a particular job, school, or whatever applying for.

In order to feel good about ourselves, we need to pay attention to the 5 different areas of our life that bring us wellness.
1. Spiritual- How do I fit in this world? What is my purpose in life? What things can I do to feel happy? What can I appreciate?
2. Physical- What physical activity did I do today? Did I eat healthy?
3. Emotional- What feelings did I have today? If I had negative feelings today, how can I change them to positive feeling
4. Intellectual- What is something I learned today? What did I discover that was new?
5. Social- Did I talk with anyone today? Did I spend time with a pet today? Did I get connected to others face to face today?

This one pager takes educators through the monitoring process. It provides a link to a strategy bank for teachers to use as they plan for instruction. 

This guide has been created to support schools with developing and monitoring personalized goals (PGs) for students.Watch the video "What's New in 2022?" (most recent video) to get started this year. 

This document examines the purpose of each type of goal/plan. A chart is included to explore the similarities and differences of PGs, SSPs & IIPs.  

This resource has 24 considerations when implementing and demonstrating growth with personalized learning in your school. A checklist for those beginning with personalized learning is provided, as well as how to progress to deeper levels of personalization using the transfer of responsibility within classrooms and schools. PeBL mentors can use this information to guide their work within the school and specific classrooms to help ensure that everyone continues to grow and develop and deepen their level to have students personalize their own learning. 

Students will be provided opportunities to learn this unit with how they learn best:

o Path: Students will choose if they want to work independently or with a partner (once that decision is made the partner will be chosen by the instructor) & Students will have a series of choices for projects to choose from and parameters on number of project for outcomes

o Place: Students will be able to work where they work best, providing they show evidence of self-regulation

o Pace: Students will be able to work through the project at their own pace with regular teacher check-ins and a hard deadline

Personlized Pathways is a graphic to support the DLC in providing a learning path that best fits our students and their families.

I piloted the Roadways tier 3 reading intervention program. I followed the program with fidelity; however, I personalized it for the students that I worked with. The portion that I found needed to be more personalized was the teacher reading portion. I used the props that were recommended in the Reciprocal reading guide. They worked well to introduce the concepts to my students, but after a while they focused so much on the props that they had a difficult time focusing on the task at hand. I felt hat other strategies needed to be added. Everyday we still focus on the Fab Four (Summarize, Clarify, Question and Predict), but everyday I add in another activity focusing on one of the Fab Four Strategies.

GOAL: Provide a framework to students for considering other perspectives before judging or reacting.
