Next Gen Tools: EAA's "Buzz"
Download ResourceTopics
Educators often take advantage of educational technologies as they make the shifts in instruction, teacher roles, and learning experiences that next gen learning requires. Technology should not lead the design of learning, but when educators use it to personalize and enrich learning, it has the potential to accelerate mastery of critical content and skills by all students.
This innovation brief from Next Generation Learning Challenges (NGLC) focuses on Buzz, a K-12 personalized learning platform used in Education Achievement Authority of Michigan's schools. Buzz was developed in partnership between EAA, Agilix, and School Improvement Network. Buzz facilitates the delivery of core content and assessments to students, allows students to advance at an individualized pace, and provides data to inform teachers' instructional strategies. The brief includes an artifact of screenshots and a student tour of the platform.
