Key points:
 * fast pace of changes
 * education needs to keep changing to keep up
 * wide range of changes
 * social networks are changing society
 * users are producers and consumers

Connection to personal experiences: · Have seen a comfort with technology with students and my own children · Disconnect between what students are experiencing outside of school and what they are allowed and encouraged to use at school
 * the only way we are going to keep up is if teachers become producers

Needs as a result of the shift · Access · Teacher comfort both with technology and with allowing students freedom and the ability to assist (co-learners) · Methods for approaching and integrating technology, change in viewpoint, it is not just an add-on

What has to happen:
 * access
 * shift in attitude, get over the fear of technology
 * role is shifting to facilitator, teaching students how to produce
 * teaching students how to be critical consumers and producers
 * permit time for students to explore the variety of tools available
