Personalized learning is defined in the following way by the U.S. Department of Education in the National Education Tech Plan (2010):
Personalization refers to instruction that is paced to learning needs (i.e., individualized), tailored to learning preferences (i.e., differentiated), and tailored to the specific interests of different learners. In an environment that is fully personalized, the learning objectives and content as well as the method and pace may all vary.
Personalized learning is a term being used to describe those classrooms where engagement and purpose are part of the fabric of the classroom. The different learning needs of the students are met by accommodating and personalizing their education. Technology is often used to facilitate the personalization of the student's learning environments.

The School Improvement Network identifies several key components of a “Personalized Classroom.” These include:

Technology can play an important role in supporting each of these components.
