What Bill Gates had to say - about you!

Hey, Bill gets us! It's nice to hear a person so identified with technology and business understand that educators are what actually make the difference:

"Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important."


I don't know about you, but sometimes it seems we're In a field where technology is adopted first and then somehow worked into the curriculum later:


"IPads for everyone! Oh . . . wait. . . ."


(Plus that's the other computer company. Sorry, Bill.)


But as Mr. Gates notes above, the important work going on in the classroom is getting the kids collaborating and being interested in what they're being asked to do. All with the ultimate goal of living a life of collaboration and passion. That's what you are doing, colleague!


Thanks for the reminder, Bill!
