Ed Tech - The Trends for the Next Five Years...This article was enlightening and started a conversation that surrounded the idea of cell phones and various hand held devices that should be used as apart of the learning process. The idea of incorporating a device that the students already hold dear is genius. Ed brought up the idea that his school wants to spend thousands on 'clickers' but Ed and others (based on an active conversation regarding tech trends) were quick to realize that thousands of dollars could be saved if a method was set up through Tweet Deck and the utilization of students hand held devices. Great Stuff!
The conversation above is a prime example of creativity on the move and the social environment willing to change with the assistance of a few pioneers and progressive individuals. The leadership it takes to get the mass majority on board is a crucial element. Like Faverty stated, 'A leader should open the door and not let it close.' I suppose it takes trust on both ends to create an environment that maximizes full potential and celebrates 'out of the box' thinking. Self- Actualization is the idea that we are all striving to reach our full potential even leaders who are constantly rethinking their various game plans and evolving. What we do is what we learn!
