Allen Dade is a Vice Principal in the Vallivue School District. He has been in education for over a decade, both on the teaching and administration sides. As a current administrator, he reports that he spends almost half of his working hours dealing with issues stemming from tech in schools. Technology in education is here to stay and it does offer potential benefits, but the current iteration and management of said technology in our schools does bring along with it several problems that must be addressed. Enjoy!
