Thanks for your article

The new learning paradigm is changing FROM one to many teaching TO personalized learning

The brain based, research proven learning research is copious and we must follow it.

Teacher facilitated, brain based, truly personalized, learning technology has been available since 2000 and has benefited ELL, special ed students and below grade, at risk students.

Trial and error based upon unproven technologies and unproven learning fads hoping things will somehow get better must stop

We know what we need to do and have the tools to make it happen. Now all we need to do is to educate ourselves on what is proven to work, change our behaviors and see positive results
