This is the Learning Genome Project's free "hub" that makes personalized learning available to every child. Said Kelly, "Every child, regardless of their economic situation, deserves an education that is tailored to them. Society benefits when we help kids learn how to best utilize their unique gifts and passions." Premium features of the Learning Genome Project will include: * A student information system * An e-portfolio * A teacher and student planner * Blogging tools * An e-learning center * An individual learning map for each child The premium features will work seamlessly with the Learning Genome hub giving students, teachers, and parents a complete solution to personalized learning. The Learning Genome Project is seeking crowd-sourced funding through Indiegogo and will use the $85,000 raised to begin programming. The project has 45 days to raise the funds and can be found here: At indiegogo "Learning Genome Project".
