Podcast27: Medicine, Engagement, and Keys to Technology Integration

Medical doctors are struggling like the rest of us to keep up with the pace of change in society, largely driven by technology. In this podcast I share 2 recent stories with a family practitioner and a heart surgeon here in Lubbock, discussing how technology driven change affects their daily behavior as well as continuing learning. I share several websightings in part 2, and wrap up with a series of interviews with Texas principals and superintendents about "keys to technology integration" on their campuses and in their districts.
