Our challenge as educators is to embrace our shifting role from sage-on-the-stage to coach-on- the-sidelines. We need to accept the value of alternative ways of communication and the fact that we are no longer the sole, nor perhaps even the best source, of information. We need to rethink how to utilize the variety of media available today, which equal or exceed traditional ways to communicate the ideas of a culture and the knowledge of a society.

We must let go of the old dogma, lest we go the way of the dinosaurs.
