5. i am a product of progressive education:
• fewer standards
• smaller classes
• more collaboration
• stronger student/teacher relationships
6. i care about how we use technology,
particularly in education
36. ...but education will only be great when the education is
reinvented and reconstructed
37. the schools that really use technology well
have thought first about the education.
38. the values taught by social media need
to first be taught to education. and
only then can social technologies be
used in class.
39. in order for technology in
education to work, students and
teachers must learn and know
how to trust and take risks.

• technology is an obstruction between people
• off hours tech. builds stronger relationships
• comments create discussions
