Have you thought about how personalized learning can help the whole class feel more connected and involved?
When students feel included and supported in ways that work for them, they’re more likely to take part and feel like they belong. Here are five practical ways to bring more personalized learning into your classroom with help from Showbie.
Use technology to stay connected with colleagues
Personalized learning starts with teamwork. In Showbie, you can easily share resources, lesson ideas, and notes with colleagues, whether you’re co-planning, moderating, or supporting the same students across subjects. Also, features like auditor accounts and shared folders can help keep everyone in the loop without extra admin or scattered messages.
Ask students to connect learning to their own experiences
Like all of us, students bring their own personal experiences and perspectives to learning. Try asking students about how their personal experience relates to what you’re teaching. You may be surprised by what insights students have and how their experiences can spark a fruitful classroom discussion. If you’re using Showbie, students can easily share these reflections in a format that suits them best, whether it’s a class chat, a written response, or a voice note.
Use technology to provide timely feedback
Timely feedback can make all the difference. It helps students stay on track and understand their next steps while everything’s still fresh in their minds. Showbie makes this easier by letting you quickly check in on work, leave a comment, mark a document, or share a voice note. It’s a simple way to give feedback that feels personal and keeps learning moving forward as students see personalized encouragement that’s tailored for them.
Create space for every student’s voice
Not every student wants to speak up in front of the class. Showbie gives students multiple ways to contribute, whether it’s through written comments, annotations, or a class discussion. These flexible options help students build confidence and find their voice in a way that suits them, before stepping into whole-class discussions.
Use portfolios to make learning visible
Personalized learning is easier when students can see how far they’ve come. With Showbie’s portfolio feature, students can collect key pieces of work that show their progress over time. It’s a simple way for them to reflect on their learning journey, and for you to celebrate their growth in a way that feels personal and meaningful.
