Background
A lot of investments but still no creative use of ICT
Confusion of all the products on the market
Are the products on the market developed according to our
curriculum / pedagogical needs?
Decreased results among our students (STEM)
More and more students per class with personalized demand
Increased costs of support to personalize learning

5. Wouldn´t it be great if?
Modern brilliant technology could be used:
• in a more effective and demandriven way?
• in dialogue with the procuring public authorities?
• with influence from our teachers and students?
Could this approach create a
method towards
21st century classroom?

7. How teaching is changing –
a reality every educator is facing
Your students
The Old: Receiving a class roster
The New: Knowing a student’s history, place, potential
The Difference: Becoming a more human process
Lessons planning
The Old: Manage grouping, finishing classwork, create “system”
for homework
The New: Personalizing workflows based on constantly changing
circumstance (data, need to know, student interest, changes in
community, etc.) using flipped classrooms
The Difference: Authenticity. For this student, right here, right
now, what exactly do they need?

8. How teaching is changing –
a reality every educator is facing
Personalization
The Old: Administer assessment, evaluate performance, report
performance, then–maybe–make crude adjustments the best you
can.
The New: Identifying, prioritizing, and evaluating data for each
student individually– in real time.
The Difference: Precision and determine the kind of data is most
important for each student and then either analyze it personally,
or monitor the algorithms that are doing it for you.

9. IMAILE PLE solutions are expected to:
• Support to teachers and students in primary/secondary STEM
• Reduce the planning hours for the teachers
• Support all students to reach their goals in a personalized way
• Create more 1 to 1 meetings teacher/student in the classroom
• Increase the motivation to learn for our students using creative/
collaborative learning methods in a personalized way
• Create shift teacher centered learning to student centered learning
• Be applicable to all devices (not fully BYOD concept) but our solution
should be a tool that replicates the students’ personal devices
• Be applicable to all learning styles (tactile, visual auditory)
• Reduce the numbers of early drop outs

10. Project Stages
I. Preparation of PCP (need analysis and market sounding)
II. Preparation of PCP call
III. PCP in 3 stages
IV. Standardisation and Exploitation
V. Dissemination and Evaluation

Reflection
How many of the students require personalized learning in your class?
How many hours of preparation do you estimate to plan the STEM classes
in an individualized way every week?
How do you see the division of the 3 learning styles in your classroom?
Do you prepare the tasks for the students upon their learning style?
Would you like technology to support you and the students in this work?
IMAILE believes that it is possible to support the
challenge using PCP
Your role is important for innovations at EU level
