So lets change the way we see technology in our
schools and move it from

• driving people to being driven by people
• playground to collaborative workspace
• fluff to fundamental
• Dilbert-i-zing to self-directing
• automation to innovation
• brick to life preserver

And lets change the way we see technology users
in our school communities, moving from

• some of us to all of us
• gods and goddesses to mortals
• anarchists to innovators
• radicals to team players
• collectors to sharers
• followers to leaders
• competitors to collaborators
