Digital Transformation: A Focus on Creativity, Not Tools
A veteran education technologist, and a prominent researcher and consultant in education and emerging technologies, Ellen Wagner thinks deeply about what we are really saying when we talk about, and often attach labels to, our current initiatives, movements, or hopes at the intersection of education and technology. With present projects and affiliations in professional associations including IEEE/ICICLE, and academic and research roles at higher education institutions including George Mason University and the University of Central Florida, along with an impressive resume in technology strategy and development both within industry and in academia, Wagner asks us to look beyond our words to understand the impact of our thinking and what we may be planning. Here, she examines a point that is too often missing from discussions of “digital transformation”.
