What is the purpose of Using Edu-Tech?
ALTERNATIVELY:
•  Deploying new media to
forge new entry points into
learning opportunity,
achievement, and civic
participation.
•  Less about improving
individual competitiveness;
more focused on learning
writ large, centering on
values: equity, full
participation and collective
contribution.
DOMINANT FOCUS:
•  Lowering the costs of
content delivery, improving
‘instruction’, and optimizing
assessment for existing
metrics, standards, and
accountabilities.

  two	
  more….	
  
•  The	
  emergence	
  of	
  rapid	
  unsustainable	
  
growth	
  (in	
  popula.ons,	
  ci.es,	
  resource	
  
consump.on	
  )	
  
•  The	
  emergence	
  of	
  a	
  revolu.onary	
  new

  of	
  biological	
  ,

  gene.c

  the

  of

  solid	
  maVer,	
  and	
  
seize	
  ac.ve	
  control	
  over

“there	
  is	
  a	
  clear

  that

Are schools immune from the

Can they remain relevant if their

Do we all believe that schools
should survive because of wider
