 * // Inevitable! Mass Customized Learning (MCL) //**

Let's do for learners, what Apple does for music lovers, what Amazon.com does when profiling our reading interests, and what Google does by organizing the information we want. What if every day, every learner came to school and was met with customized learning activities at his or her precise developmental and achievement level, was learning in his or her most effective learning styles with content of interest, was challenged, was successful and left school eager to come back tomorrow? This is not only possible with today's technologies it is inevitable. Industry has figured out how to mass customize products and services, education is poised for this leap. Authors Chuck Schwahn and Bea McGarvey are creating a buzz about MCL with their book, Inevitable: Mass Customized Learning. Join Danielle as she reviews the highlights of this book and shows videos of how MCL is working in schools right now. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">**//Resources/Handouts://**
