As a Professor of Marketing and Economics for 40 years I have watched the marketing field better understand consumers and their behavior and use this knowledge to customize marketing. As a State Board of Education member starting in the 1980's I have always tried to get schools to use education technology, and other technology, like predictive analysis, to customize learning for each student. We can do that better each year, but first we must put aside the barriers to change and present status quo teacher work rules, classroom and time focus, etc. There are many ideas for how to do this from what I have written at www.edlyell.com under articles or the radio show blog.
