About the talk

Personalizing our lessons is regarded as positive but the side effect is a classroom where familiar topics are repeated, lack challenge and fail to engage students. I propose that we shouldn't be afraid to use more 'impersonal' topics with a focus on personalizing the task rather than the topic. It's a practical session with plenty of ideas to take away.
