Wrong Answers: make Prezis, start blogs, create Wordles, publish Animotos, design flipcharts, produce videos, post to Edmodo, use whiteboard, develop apps

 

Right Answers: raise awareness, start conversations, find answers (to THEIR questions), join partners, change minds, make a difference, take action, drive change

 

Technology is a TOOL, NOT an outcome

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

I love this! I think it’s something that’s easily overlooked, not only for students, but adults too. Adults get too obsessed about the tools as well, if you ask me! And as is the case with both the student and adult populations, we can always learn and adapt to new tools.
