In his 1883 book “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” Friedrich Nietzsche identified the “Übermensch” – translated contemporarily as “superman” – who could transcend the constrictive Victorian Age and the less-than-human Industrial Revolution through an ability to be flexible and adaptive to the challenges of human existence.

Educators have been using technologies in classrooms for centuries, and while the technologies change over time, successful teaching and learning have not. Simply put, it’s not about the technology. Don’t get me wrong: I love the way web technologies break down traditional barriers between students and the world beyond their four walls in the classroom. I have utilized those technologies in the

In the 21st century though, effective leadership is defined not by moving forward in isolation, but by making connections, building relationships, and collaborating beyond traditional boundaries.CRSTE
