Individual Learning in a Room of Many Individuals

Individualized Learning in a Room of Many Individuals (Part One) Reading Chapter 7 of our major textbook of study I can't help but find much of the lessons I am reading to be very relevant and informational for not just me but my peers when it comes to a major topic: Individualized Learning.  First let us define individualized learning: learning through the work of individuals or small groups.
