Students must now achieve at a higher level academically, while also gaining important technology proficiencies required in work and life. However, by utilizing proven general and adult learning theories in association with educational technology, many of these new learning requirements can be met. This book can be a starting point for educators to begin considering how individualized learning could be done in high school to encourage life-long learning.
