Are efficiency and effectiveness or creativity and collaboration putting technology in our schools? Do we introduce tech tools for productivity and later leverage them for learning? Or do we lead with the purpose of learning and let the productivity piece follow? From the beginning, I think we need to be clear about what we intend the tech tools to do for our productivity and student achievement. Not that we aren't but I'm just wondering which purpose drives the discussions more often and how that effects, in the long run, the way we use technology.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('146276','Tod Baker','So what drives tech planning and implementation more, getting things done or transformative learning experiences?

Love the way you put it, though (or the way Ben 10 does). It needs to be about the learning and going hero. Some of our success stories, start by recognizing a tool for its "productivity" help, but then through use see the "heroic" side of it.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('146249','Dennis Harter','Like a lot of schools, for us, a little of both.\r\n\r\nLove the way you put it, though (or the way Ben 10 does).
