This document summarizes a presentation about personalizing learning tools in STEM education. The presentation explored how to use web2.0 tools to personalize learning, integrate STEM-related tools that support flexible learning, and create a model classroom pilot program that can then be scaled up. It also discussed potential challenges in implementing such programs and strategies to overcome them. Examples of specific tools mentioned include Khan Academy, Code.org, EduCreations, and multimedia apps for student project creation and assessment.
