Accelerating Out of Technologic Adolescence

摘要

French political thinker Baron de Montesquieu once said, "The success of most things depends upon knowing how long it will take to succeed." Which is a good lesson for policymakers as education technology continues to emerge and evolve. Last month, I wrote about the hit education technology was taking in the mainstream press and offered a couple of ideas on what to do about it. I also have been trying to work out why the press has turned against us. The answer may help us not only respond intelligently to negative criticism, but also prevent it from happening in the first place. A partial explanation revolves around expectations.
