Today's world relies upon on
rapidly changing computer technology in almost every phase
of life. That creates a breakneck pace
of change for the academy. In this new
world, the old "muddling through" approach to educational
improvement doesn't work well anymore.
The window of opportunity associated with each new
generation of educational technology closes too quickly.
Ironically the solution is not move faster.
We have already tried, "Ready, fire, aim!" and, time
after time, that prescription has failed.
Instead, we need to take a moment, study thirty years
of past failures, and, this time, we need to get it right.
