The document discusses using crowdsourcing and technology tools to spark new ways of educating students. It suggests applying the principle of leaving unproductive meetings to find more meaningful ways to contribute. The focus should be on addressing modern learners' needs, rethinking what learning and literacy mean, and starting the change with educators themselves before expecting students to change.

2. Brilliantly simple, it says any time you're in a meeting where you're not contributing nor
adding value--you are encouraged to use your two feet and find a place where you
can. In other words, if it's not meaningful, and you're not doing your part to make it
meaningful, move on.
