EDAD 536 - Leading with Instructional Technology
Fall 2015

"In 2004 when I wrote "The World is Flat", Facebook didn't exist to most people, Twitter was a sound, the cloud was in the sky, 4G was a parking place, Linked In was a prison, applications were what you sent to college, and for most people, and Skype was a typo. This, all in a seven year span. We're not just connected, we're hyper connected." - Thomas Friedman Sept 2011 "Meet the Press" “The US Department of Commerce ranked 55 industry sectors, by their level of IT intensiveness. Education was ranked number 55, the lowest—below coal mining.” - Keith Krueger, CEO CoSN “If you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a classroom” - Excerpt From: John Medina “Brain Rules"
