What is inspiring in the relationship between instruction and technology is that technology

has the promise to accelerate the effectiveness of 21st century learning cultures and environments within our

schools.  

The intentional and innovative sequencing of pedagogy with technology, in addition to

what we know about the change process, can accelerate high quality development within

our learning environments and in the achievement of our students…..more quickly

than we ever have experienced before.
