• Technology is an enabler to deliver a social learning experience

Every morning in Africa, when the sun rises, a cheetah wakes up and says to himself – “If I

don’t run faster than the gazelle, I will starve”

Every morning in Africa, when the sun rises, a gazelle wakes up and says to himself – “If I don’t

run faster than the cheetah, I will die”

It really doesn’t matter if you think you are a cheetah or a gazelle, but every morning, when the sun rises,

you better be running!
