What Part Do You Play in Education Technology Deployment

I’ve been following the Twitter “tweets” from a Google teacher Academy led by Mark Wagner and was reminded of this EDS commercial.  The presenter uses this commercial as a kick off question about how 21st Education is like “building airplanes in the sky”

I think there is a potential  strategic planning excercise in this commercial:   bring IT, administrative, student support, faculty, students and others together, show this clip and then to ask who is represented by the actors in the commercial?

Plane Builders

Flight attendants

Passengers

Child passenger in close up

And people we don’t see, such as

Pilots

Airline company

Then start a discussion about “building airplanes in the sky” and how it relates to the educational technology of today.

Bonus points if your team can ask and discuss:  should we even be building airplanes?
