This blog post is part of the Leadership Day 2011 Blog Post Series. Enjoy!"Computers are useless. They can only give you answers."
Yes, inside our Macbooks, our Google Chromebooks, and our phones lie millions of answers. Facts about scientific properties, dates from famous battles, and mathematical algorithms are abundant.
So, what does this mean for education?
Teachers can no longer live in classrooms where they are the sole expert. Teachers must encourage students to look beyond mere "answers." Instead we need to strive for collaborative solutions where we invent new knowledge.
How does this fundamental change occur? Simple. Through the influence of powerful leaders.
Leaders do not need to be principals, administrators, or superintendents. Anyone can be a leader.
Share a new tool. Influence someone's paradigm. Be the change.
