Technology by itself is not a transformative agent. Changes in ways we think, changes in practice that can be enabled by technology can be transformative, but technology by itself is not.
...evidence is quickly mounting from clinical research that our children’s brains are quickly adapting to accommodate all the new technologies with which they spend so much time – and that because of digital bombardment, because of the pervasive nature of digital experiences in children’s lives today, children today are also different neurologically...
The bottom line is that children today are FUNDAMENTALLY different from previous generations in the way they think, in the way they access, absorb, interpret, process and use information and above all, in the way they view, interact and communicate in and with the modern world. And this holds profound implications for us both personally as parents and professionally as educators.

We are no longer teaching if what we teach is more important than who we teach or how we teach.
