"With technology, we make a point of teaching the fundamental skills behind what kids are learning. It’s about encouraging innovation, creativity, and critical thinking — the life skills that underpin whatever particular technology might be in use at the time.
The key skill is building relationships. If you can get on with the kids and nurture relationships with them, you can get them onboard with what you’re teaching. It’s more about facilitating their learning and getting them excited about what they’re doing."
