Let me start by wishing all a very happy new year with all the challenges, opportunities, and occasional solutions that make us love ed tech so much.
I am taking a break from my usual curmudgeonly outlook to be optimistic as we broach a new decade (please don’t insist that the new decade starts until 2011…we fought that war in 2000 and the 01’s lost).
Reading the many articles outlining the progress of the past ten years, I see a clear pattern of progress in the classroom and the world in general. In day to day battles with others and myself, it feels like nothing is happening, but looking at an arc of 10 years belies this perception. If nothing else we are asking the questions and challenging assumptions that were sacrosanct not ten years ago.
The world is changing, and time is on our side!
Happy New Year! Time to get moving!
