The Use of Transformational Technology

We think of the term transformational technology as a mindset. It is easiest understood if we frame the definition as a question. 

"Could we have done this without the use of our technology?"

This question can be broken down into two separate questions...

1. Could the student have produced this work without the use of his/her technology
2. Could the teacher have created this lesson or task without the use of technology?
