=="//Technology should be used by teachers, students and others in the community to develop capacity, to think, interact, share ideas and resources, to focus energy and attention on student learning. Technology has the power to do that in a way we've never been able to do before. Not that we throw out everything we've been doing. Face-to-face interaction is still important. But we’re limited by time and space. Technology frees us to interact with people around the globe//."==

 * II. Working as individuals, use sticky notes to list one idea per sticky that is a proactive solution to overcoming a barrier or restraint to reculturing schools around 21st Century change. Or list innovative ideas you have for how to implement the needed change. Remember 1 idea per sticky note. Be creative. Think out of the box. (7 min)**
