Thoughts for educators • Begin at the end. Define outcomes. • Make technology the slave to your strategy, not the other way around. • Harness the power of time, place, path, and pace for student personalization. • Personalize for your circumstances too. Think in terms of “SWOT.” • Take advantage of rapidly improving content and communication tools. • Shift to outcome accountability, not input-based rules.
