    • Given the access, technology, resources, and requirements available to me, how can I create a classroom world reflective of what my students need in the future that is theirs?

    • How will like-minded teachers connect and collaborate to create connected spaces for themselves and with their students?
  • Answers to question:
    • Pass the test.
    • Enable students to become thinking, caring, productive persons using high standards in a positive environment.
