In creating an educational system that would work better for the majority of students, there are many things to consider. First, the students must be motivated to learn and this learning must be accessible to them. In order to help students be motivated to learn, I would look into PLE's where students could investigate their own learning. Students would be able to access information in the ways that are best for them. Students who are more visual would be able to find videos to help with their learning. Students who are more audio would be able to find podcasts to help with their learning. Because I feel that it is important for students to be well rounded, I would make sure that while they started their learning journey on subjects and topics they were interested in, students would transition into subjects and topics that would not be their first choice. At this phase of the learning process, students would be excited about the connections they are able to make even in subject areas that they are not as enthusiastic about. Students would utilize a variety of web 2.0 tools that would make the learning process easier. The use of these tools would allow the information to come to the students and save the students time. Just using technology is not enough. The use of technology must be meaningful and enhance the learning experience. Teachers must also act as guides through this learning process. If students were just let loose with this process, the results would be scattered and the students would not learn as much. With teacher guidance, this individualized process can be extremely rewarding for students. They are able to learn information and learn how to learn information.
