The document discusses how various technologies can be used transformationaly in the classroom. It describes how technologies like ActivSlate, SmartBoard, and LiveScribe pens can be used to pre-teach students, increase parent involvement by flipping the classroom for parents, and help teachers reflect on their teaching through recordings. The document argues that these uses of technology make the classroom more transformational by engaging students and parents more deeply and helping teachers improve through self-reflection.
