                       Bejing, China 2011
“…you can’t just drop
new innovations into a
  classroom and hope
that the instructor will
 invent effective ways
  to use them. To fully
utilize a new teaching
 technology, you often
   need to invent new
 teaching practices as
          well.”
John Seely Brown, Visiting Scholar, University of
Southern California
