Welcome to Vision First, my personal blog about my experiences working with Technology in Education. Hopefully you will find the content on this page to be helpful, informational or at the very least...entertaining. Obviously in the world of technology, things don't always go as planned, but having a solid vision aligned with contingency clauses is key to coming out alive on the end.
I see way too many educational institutions spending a crazy amount of money on Technology because it looks fun and shiny. That's something that consumers in the general public do, that shouldn't be a practice in education. In education it is not only about consuming information, but creating, innovating and sharing it with the rest of the world.
I always ask myself the same questions... Do I have a plan for this technology? How is it going to improve student achievement? How am I going to measure if it is or it isn't? How am I going to ensure that this technology is creating opportunities for the majority and not restricting them to certain tools or ideologies?
Am I putting Vision First?
