1. Theme #2: shift and students
• It’s not your parents’ classroom anymore…
• And it will not be the same one that you were in, either
• So, who will your students be?
• We care about technology in this class, but whose technology?
• Mine? Yours? Your teachers? Your students?
• Consider who your students are (not what you are used
to), and go from there?
• Vision for technology in K-12 Education
