    Mitch Kapor just named the elephant in the room - the #eisummit is talking about helping students of color, but the room is very white.

    This discussion of education, and a challenge for adaptivity/personalization, is very utilitarian (get a job) #eisummit

    The phrase "do more with less" drives me crazy because it assumes, at root, that people are holding out on what they have to give. #eisummit

    Argument for consolidating districts was made because it is more efficient w/ a very dismissive rejection of people wanting local control.

    Adrian Fenty just said that "to attack teacher salaries and pensions, you need reform-minded leaders." Unreal. #eisummit

    @willrich45 Fenty actually said, "If we fire more teachers, we can use that money for more technology." Wow. #eisummit

    Educators - if you don't see that there is a billion dollar industry wanting to take over schools using tech as the Trojan Horse, wake up.
