WHAT DO WE BELIEVE ABOUT TECHNOLOGY?
“...technology is not something that happens to us.It is something we create. We must not confuse a tool with a goal. We must, therefore, be sure that technology serves the fundamental purposes of higher education."
Stanley Katz,In IT, Don’t Mistake a Tool
For a Goal

WHAT DO WE BELIEVE ABOUT TECHNOLOGY?
“Information technology is embedded in, and used by, institutions that have a history…
IT will cut its own channels, leading to the creation of institutions that differ from those of today; institutions where the weight of history does not condition and constrain IT’s use.”
Martin TrowDaedelus, 1999

WHAT DO WE BELIEVE ABOUT TECHNOLOGY?
“The history of IT is a tale of accidental revolutions. We are like the frog that has been placed into a pot of cold water and slowly heated up. The frog stays put - and cooks. By the time the frog realizes its predicament, it's too late. Like the frog, we think we’re in control.”
Richard Katz
