Editor's Notes
- #2 There is a lot of hype around tech. in education: Some see it as a Messiah, others as a Pariah. It is neither, tech. in education is what we make it. My purpose is to share some thoughts with you and what I consider to be best practices. My purpose is not to convince you of anything in particular. My purpose it is provide a context and information for your decision making regarding if and how to effectively implement technology.
- #3 The most fundamental axiom that must guide our technology decisions is this….

- #17 We live in a world of disconnect where the classroom has stopped reflecting the world outside of its walls. If you put a doctor of a 100 years ago in today’s operating room, she would be lost. Yet, if you place a teacher of a 100 years ago in our classrooms she would not skip a beat. The U.S. Department of Commerce recently ranked 55 industry sectors by their level of IT intensiveness. Education was ranked 55th, the lowest and below coal mining. Yet, we claim to be preparing students for the 21st century.

- #58 900 - 1300 C / 60 kilobars of pressure To learn, to be shaken out of comfort zones and complacency often requires the application of pressure. Pressure is ok. We put pressure on students to learn / We should be willing to both accept and apply pressure.
- #59 Example: After our pilot we discovered that we needed one wireless access for EACH room, not every other room as expected.
