Report Urges Sharing Of Student Information

Katie Ash writes at the Education Week (10/10) "Digital Education" blog that a new report from Digital Learning Now! "focuses on the sharing of student information and data, something the report contends is not being done well in today's education system. Most teachers know little about the students they receive at the start of the school year, the report says, which prevents them from being able to personalize learning for students from the first day of school." The report suggests that "data backpacks and learner profiles" would help teachers to craft relevant learning experiences for their students.
