This is my vision statement for eduational technology

1. "Born Digital"
Today more and more students have access to devices
like smart phones, iPods, iPads, netbooks and laptop
computers.
Schools have the responsibility to teach our children in engaging ways as future
leaders of our country. B. Nesbitt produced a video, "A vision of K-12 students
today" that helps to motivate teachers to inspire their students. Even more
importantly to motivate administrators to get teachers the tools and training in order
to move into the 21st century.
