2:1

“Technology has been a tool that many of us have used to push positive change of instructional practices. However, having been at this for nearly 30 years now, I am left struggling with the realization that much of what we are doing is, as I labeled for myself, tinkering around the edges."

- Howard Levin

1st – accept that disruption is the new norm.

2nd – expect that your whole system of education is on the brink of change.

3rd – know that very little of this has to do with technology, per se.
