4. 15 Years Ago…
• The iPhone and mobile technology hadn’t been invented yet
• YouTube didn’t exist
• Social Media didn’t exist. Facebook and Twitter weren’t created yet
• No Uber, Airbnb, Paypal
• Videoconferencing was very expensive and limited (No Skype, GHO)
15 years ago, thinking globally was a luxury.
Now, the world is interconnected like never before.

future
in a globally connected society
instead of the isolation of our past.

Editor's Notes
----- Meeting Notes (11/18/16 12:28) -----
The purpose of school is not to prepare kids for tests, colleges, or careers. The purpose of school is to give students the tools they need to be happy in their lives.
