    1. How do students use technology in a focused way that will really make a difference in student learning?
    How are we to be sure that project based and technology driven? There must be greater access to the technology that can make engaging learning, based on technology, both rigorous and engaging. Is the teacher to use the same technology? the teacher would play the role of more of a coach and facilitator rather than the center of the learning.

    2. Human interaction is seen through collaboration and the technology is the tool to open the door.
    Positive and negative changes for classroom instruction are possible, however, some students may not be willing to cooperate.

    3. Project based and Technology Driven would describe ideal learning. Teachers must be supported through the district and by relevant training to meet the new objectives that are being presented. Teachers need to be supported through training and real life examples.

    4. All table participants are in full support of the district initiative.
