=="//Technology should be used by teachers, students and others in the community to develop capacity, to think, interact, share ideas and resources, to focus energy and attention on student learning. Technology has the power to do that in a way we've never been able to do before. Not that we throw out everything we've been doing. Face-to-face interaction is still important. But we’re limited by time and space. Technology frees us to interact with people around the globe//."==

National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP)[| Vision 2021 initiative] asks the important questions: //What will schools be like in 2021?// //What will be the role of principals in 2021?// //What needs to be done today to prepare schools for the next generation?// [|Visit their blog]
