The document discusses how technology can transform school culture from being either teacher-centered or student-centered. It notes that prevailing school culture is either teacher-centered or student-centered and polls the audience on their observations of how teachers have used technology for administrative, teacher-centered, and learner-centered tasks. It then provides three ways to master technology to transform culture: increase knowledge of technology through research and standards; improve self-efficacy via training, experimentation, and feedback; and build a community of practice by facilitating discussion, sharing experiences, and collaborating across disciplines.
