What is the purpose of education?

In the summer of 2012, I began anexploration of the concept of Content Curation,and what this meant for teachers and students.

Jessie rose to the sound of her alarm going off at 5:30 am.

My district superintendent has created an initiative to become “Future Ready” as defined by the Department of Education and Alliance for Excellent Education.

Good news! ISTE has included curating in theirnew standards!

My ISTE experience was quite different this year due to the fact that I actually presented or facilitated at 5 sessions this year!

A label we commonly use to refer to our main customer is “student.”

Simply stated, Twitter has become my favorite place to learn.

I created the chart below to show my thinking on the connections and alignment between Inquiry, Choice, Curation & Relevance:

We have embraced University of South Florida’s Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) as a way to help teachers understand the different levels of technology integration

I love the Understanding by Design (UbD) method for planning learning with the end in mind.

The LMS is like a walled garden. We need to open up that garden and let students interact in the “real world.”

Do high schools today provide opportunities for students to innovate?
