“Digital disruption in education is also an opportunity for transformation.”
“As educators, embracing and exploring the possibilities of the rapidly changing digital world requires us to be open, to change. It’s vulnerable and uncertain and also necessary for a relevant, meaningful, and memorable education that betters and connects both the digital natives and digital immigrants.
