John,
The video you used in your session was amazing, when you think about how the core values and ideas espoused there are almost exactly what we are talking about today, a dozen years later.
As schools acquire more technology, are there things that teachers and administrators can do to ensure that we aren't just rearranging the deck chairs but really taking our students on a new journey of 21st century learning? Certainly your point about using technology to streamline operations and thereby maxmize the amount of taxpayer money for learning activities is very pertinent.
