Since I saw the inherent value that it would have in the hands of my teachers to get information out readily while building relationships in the process, I couldn’t wait to usher in this change.

One of the central ideas was about keeping the human in the work: Technology skills are critical skills, but we need to keep in mind that technology has its role and place but it should not replace the teacher. We learn from trial and error; to err is human, after all, so why not learn that way?
