Introduction
Introduction
Throughout this CLC, we will be working together, collaborating and sharing ideas with each other. This helps us learn and perfect our craft. We want this type of collaboration to be engaging! One of our greatest hopes is that you not only share with and learn from your colleagues, but also (maybe more importantly) that you learn about various other avenues for more learning/growth on your own.
Those who worked to create this CLC are by no means the experts in everything, especially the content that each of us teach. There are always (hopefully!) people who know more than we do that we can learn from.
Podcasts and Twitter are great ways to learn from others, share work and get feedback. Think globally - you are not limited to just your RCSD colleagues, friends who may teach in other districts, family members who may not live in Rochester, etc. Imagine being able to connect with educators from around the world!
Add hashtags to your Twitter posts to get more people to see it! Tag other educators who can provide feedback or share to a larger audience.
Find a great podcast to listen to while driving to work and learn a new idea or skill!
We want you all to use this opportunity to expand our knowledge of opportunities for more learning as well as to grow your own Personal Learning Network (PLN)!

Data Driven Personalization
Data Driven Personalization
The PAACC framework is a great guide to more student centered classrooms. It stands for Agency, Authenticity, Connectivity and Creativity, with a focus on data driven instruction. We believe that Screencastify student videos is a great tool that can utilize a few of these components.
As you work through creating an activity for your students, and they work to complete it, think about which components you are seeing throughout this learning experience.
Create Screencastify Submit Assignment for Students
Create Screencastify Submit Assignment for Students
Now it is time to get started and create your first Screencastify Submit Activity for your students!
What activity can you create so that your students will submit their own Screencastify video to you as their work product?
Something to consider as you plan your activity - if students will be completing the assignment in school, all in class at the same time, there will likely be a lot of background noise to consider ways to minimize that. Maybe they can record at home? Maybe you can have a staggered schedule of when some will record while others work on something else (stations maybe)?
In the following discussion, you will share your a brief description of the activity you created, including a screenshot of it posted for students to access in your Google Classroom, in Seesaw or in eLearning (whichever LMS you use).
*If you would like, there are more details on how to use Screencastify Submit, please see quick info on your Screencastify website. Also note, they have resources you can use with your students when using Submit: Getting Started with Submit for Students.

Ask probing questions, answer questions that others have, expand on ideas, agree or disagree (include why), provide helpful suggestions etc.
Use your discretion on a number of times to post, however, discussions are not one and done. You'll need to revisit this discussion to see what other ideas have been added.

Reflect on implementation of the activity: what went well, what can be improved, and what support you might still need.
Include some artifacts- at least one link to a student project, and if possible, images/videos of students working.
Answer this question: What component of data driven personalization was evident in the student work and how does it support student learning?
