A play in a book is only a shadow of a play…an architect’s blueprint of a house not yet built… Tennessee Williams
Blueprints for technology's use in the classroom are constructed on a daily basis, drawing listeners and viewers in for brief interludes. But a constant barrage of technology may alter one’s lens of a life’s view and that could be an important facet for our future. As teacher/leaders, we must take responsibility for what transpires; for the content, for the style, for the future generations, who may, indeed, want to know, dare to dream and try to understand the turmoil of the times we now live. The educational blueprints we create today are critical for the scope and the sequence for tomorrow's learners. As we integrate technology in education and training, we construct new views and newer ways of learning. Jane Overmoe
It is no mere setting up of the camera to nature; it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man’s will and his environment: in a word, of problems. George Bernard Shaw
