Words to Ponder… “ No system can be expected to realize full potential until and unless it is fully and properly implemented. Using an under-implemented ILS will have as little effect on transforming the classroom as taking a fraction of a prescription drug dosage will have on curing an ailing patient.” Van Dusen, 1995
