At the forefront of technology in the classroom is Bill Gates. At last years South by Southwest Technology Summit, Gates spoke about the power of technology to meet individual student needs. "Displaying a picture of Star Wars' Luke Skywalker crouched next to Yoda, Gates spoke about the importance of personalized learning. Yoda was a great teacher, Gates argued, because the Jedi master understood when Skywalker is losing interest". In an upcoming blog we will explore ways in which technology can help us monitor our students, engage them, and meet their instructional needs.
