You Will - 2011 Version

This video by AT&T from 1993 talks about future technology capabilities and how they would impact our daily lives. In 1993 I didn't even have an email address or an internet connection in my home. Many of you might say the same. We listened to these predictions perhaps and thought that this was entirely impossible. As we prepare our children for their future, we as school administrators, as educators need to be able to think with an open mind about the future of learning. This vision is an important part of being a leader. This was shared on twitter by TNW and @niall_faganTranscript of Video
