1. Technology should be used to enhance students\\u2019 learning and should rely on evidence-based practices. There is no substitute for great teaching or great student-to-teacher relationships.
2. Technology should help us work with content in interactive, meaningful ways.
3. Technology should help teachers and students cross varied developmental levels.
