Leading & Learning "Technology has added a new level of responsibility for school leaders. Many consider themselves unprepared or unqualified to identify and integrate technology in their own practice. It is important to move past any reservations and discomforts to prepare students for the futures they deserve. Now is the time for educational leaders to focus the conversation on how technology fits within their classrooms to best meet their students’ needs. If we want our children to be competitive on a global level in the 21st century, we need to be visibly using and talking about these tools for learning and teaching."
The future is already here, and we have to welcome the opportunities it brings to reshape instruction.
