Summary

We should consider Millennials’ need and comfort with technology.

There are many different tools beyond the use of the traditional textbook.

You will need to invest time. There are resources to help. There are a host of questions to consider and think

through. It will require more work. You can always start with small steps, one activity,

one course, one program at a time.
