What happens when students are kept prisoners of their teacher's past?
For today’s youth life outside of school is a fast-paced, connected environment where students have the freedom to learn in the spaces and with the tools they love.

- Problems that result when we restrict students from using technology
- Some of the flawed logic for doing so, and
- Solutions to overcome these obstacles
