Management:

• Teacher as facilitator (let them make mistakes and help them with it)
• Pods of powerful computers - available when students need them
• Teachers must adapt - computers will not always work, have a backup plan, don't let students think that technology is the only way to get things done
• Networked
• Media Rich - students need access to media!  (http://soundzabound.com)
• Portable - ability to work anywhere  - just-in-time learning
• Digital Citizenship - Respect property of others, critique not criticize, don't do it just because it can be done
