Educators are starting to realize that in order to be effective at what they do (i.e. teach our youth), they need to communicate in the same language as their students. School principals and district superintendents have begun to see how technology can be harnessed to save time and create a more productive and efficient administrative staff and teaching faculty.

Below are some great YouTube clips that highlight these points and even showcase some products that are designed to improve educational practices.
