Control. That was the way of schools and classrooms not long ago. We wanted to have our hand in everything—to know everything and to guide everything. However, the more we use technologies in our schools and classrooms, the less control we seem to have. It is simply impossible to keep up with everything students are doing on their computers and digital devices. Use of technologies has helped students to take responsibility for their learning. School culture is evolving as it recognizes students as important partners in education. Principal Eric Sheninger, TL Advisory Blog, tells us, “Giving up control and empowering my students to take ownership of their educational experience has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.”
