When you think of “personalized,” you probably think “unique,” “special,” and “just for me.” For the most part, we personalize as much of our lives as possible. We stock our cabinets and fridges with food based on our dietary needs and what we enjoy eating.

When schools across the country open their doors in Fall 2013, thousands of students find themselves in a new type of classroom-a Blended Classroom. They will have all sorts of questions: “What are all of these laptops doing here?” “How exactly will you ‘blend’ our learning?” “What do you mean our lessons will be on the computer?”
