We shouldn\u2019t pretend that these revolutions aren\u2019t  going to affect us too, in compelling and often as yet unknown ways.  And, yet, for some reason we do.<\/p>\n<p>As long-existing barriers to learning, communicating, and  collaborating disappear &#8211; and as what it means to be a productive  learner, citizen, and employee shifts dramatically &#8211; it\u2019s worth asking  how we as educational leadership faculty and programs are responding.  Are we doing what we should? To date the evidence is pretty clear that  most of us are not.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Can we as educational leadership faculty do better? Given the scale and  scope of the transformations occurring around us &#8211; and their power and  potential for student learning &#8211; we MUST do better. It\u2019s embarrassing to  consider how little we\u2019ve done to stay relevant.
