What if your science class was like this:
Each day you received a personalized set of learning goals
and you worked at your own pace moving ahead in the
curriculum only once you had mastered the material. During
class you would have the flexibility to use computer based
games, collaborate with other students on experiments and
problem solving exercises, receive one-on-one tutoring from
a teacher as needed, and use a variety of digital resources
and tools. What would be the benefits of this kind of
learning environment for you?
