The journey unfolds when teachers decide to move away from traditional teaching and toward a new vision of instructional design. It’s a learning journey—for teacher and student alike. The journey focuses on learning, not the technology. Taking the journey is critical in preparing students to live, learn, and work in a technology-rich world. The previous stops on the journey are still available: Project Based Learning and Web 2.0.
