5. Something to Think About. If we want to move the useful
adoption of technology forward, it is crucial for educators to
learn to listen, to observe, to ask, and to try all the new methods
their students have already figured out, and do so regularly.
Change is the order of the day in our kids 21st- century lives. It
ought to be the order of the day in their schools as well. Not only
would students welcome it, they will soon demand it. The biggest
question about technology and schools in the 21st century is not so
much "What can it do?" but, rather, "When will we get to do it?"
