The overwhelming themes that emerge are:
- Trust the students – be prepared to work with them.
- Collaboration and relating to others lies at the heart of how students learn about their worlds through technology.
- Connections and inquiry that never would have been made previously, both locally and globally, are now possible.
- Technology can support engagement for all students, especially those with different learning needs.
- The vital importance of everyone having access, not just a few, is central to strategic planning.
- Mobile computing, combined with cloud-based technologies, free the students and teachers from constraints of time and place.
