Comments from participating teachers: - I feel excited when I imagine new technology entering the field of education. I hope that collaboration between schools and companies will continue with the help of boards of education. - The use of tablet devices in schools has already begun. It is necessary to leave paper behind and adopt new technology. I want to take the things I learned back to school and bring a fresh breeze to the field of education. - I realized anew that there are providers like DNP behind the products and services I use casually every day. I want to broaden my perspective and think more about product and service providers on a daily basis.
