For the record, I was quoted in today’s Detroit Free Press in an article titled: School districts expanding technology, but training is key to success. In addition, two of my partners in crime (Matt Koehler & Candace Marcotte) were mentioned in an Edutopia article titled: How to Integrate Tech When It Keeps Changing. The idea of TPACK connects both articles, though the Free Press article does not mention the idea directly.

It is difficult, in a world buffeted by change, to know what to hold on to. I often wonder about this when thinking of teaching and learning, when thinking of the speed at which technology is changing the world we live in... What do we hold on to? What do we let go?...
