2. The Tsiao Liu Chiu Tea Brick Used for compact transportation of a product that held value. At one point in time it was used for currency and quite valuable for national trading. As we teach our children, we are offering them products that have value, they too can be used for trading information and in some respects you could also consider that currency as well. Technology is becoming more compact, compressed and there is a need to teach students how to become masters of their own technology tea brick.

11. Parents want to learn too! Empowering students to take the information home with them to share is key. Parents want to know and understand the why with technology in the classroom. I believe once they understand the why – you’ll be asking them “Why are you sitting there with my iPad?” (When they should be helping you out with the fence building project.)
