Are you irrelevant or embracing possibilities?
The idea behind being a visionary is to see the world from all angles and perspectives…and to think of the possibilities in a situation, no matter what the circumstance. He spoke of shooting photos and how the next photo, when taken at a different angle or waiting 15 more minutes as the light changes, would give you a totally different outcome, a totally different way of looking at the world. That is something we need to keep in mind as educators….looking at our world and students , embracing the situation before us and looking for the possibilities.

Of course, that’s such a positive outlook. I like it. Honest, I do. But, I laugh at this perspective because it reminds me of how irrelevant ed-tech folks are in school districts these days, how irrelevant ALL technology except that which is used for assessment of student performance is…
U.S. Army Chief of Staff (1999-2003) Eric Shinseki once said, “If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.” This isn’t the time to take baby steps and be safe — as Willy Loman says in Death of a Salesman, “The woods are on fire, boys!” Are we going to at least acknowledge the smoke?
