With mobile devices, collaborative digital tools, interactive virtual reality, and access to primary resources, today’s students can experience learning that truly meets their individual needs and interests. And with this personalized approach, comes the important responsibility of ensuring that the tools and resources are high-quality, aligned to standards, address educational goals and are accessible for all students.
