Educational Leadership:Technology-Rich Learning:Students First, Not Stuff - 2 views

  • Technological change is not additive; it is ecological, which means, it changes everything. —Neil Postman
  • If we see technology simply as additive, our questions will be about the technology
  • it's about addressing the new needs of modern learners in entirely new ways

  • the ecological shifts we need to make: What do we mean by learning? What does it mean to be literate in a networked, connected world? What does it mean to be educated?
