Abstract	In reading the recently published EDUCAUSE e-book "Game Changers: Education and Information Technologies," the author came to the realization that many educators and technologists in higher education are "preaching to the choir." In addition to talking to each other about innovation and change and transformative educational technologies and techniques, they need to be talking to those who are most affected by their choices: their students. This article presents the author's open letter to students. The author stresses that educators and technologists in the ed-tech world have been talking, visioning, and showcasing innovation for decades. Based on the results to date, the author thinks that their voice is not enough. He has come to the conclusion that the voice that will push real change is the students' voice. He argues that if the students are willing to accept a set of key educational responsibilities as they stand up for their core educational rights, they might be the real game changer educators and technologists need in catalyzing next-generation learning.
