I wonder how many schools and districts have some version of the word “innovate” in their mission statements.

Isn’t the end goal about more than access to technology?

Can we duplicate the intensity of an immersion experience through technology – to go beyond global competency to achieve this kind of global understanding?

I recently had the opportunity to speak at the Jefferson County School District Tech Share Fair on the topic of school libraries and learner agency.

What if we used the same kind of technology that Airbnb and Lyft use to build a national database of potential mentors for students?

Do we intentionally design and plan for the needs of the students? The individual student? How do we know what those needs are?

What are the top 5 tech skills every educator should have?

Where, oh where, does creativity and innovation fit in our standards-based system?

Transformation can occur when creating innovators is our goal.

Questioning leads to synthesis.

I decided to take a closer look at each of the elements in this chart and translate to the situation at hand.

One way to think about transfer is through a common learning experience the majority of us have had: driving a car.

I didn’t find what I was looking for – so I decided to create an infographic. I used Pictochart – great tool!

I’ve been working on this chart to share with teachers in our iPad 1:1 pilot program
