Reminder that kids are not "falling behind" academically during these crazy times. Standards, benchmarks, and accountability measures are all arbitrarily created by schools and can just as easily be readjusted as needed.

So often educatorsโ anxiety around cultivating student learning leads to micromanagement. The danger is building learners with large sums of knowledge, who lack the self-direction and self-management to apply the skills outside the classroom.

Some educators are exceptional. It is not a fluke, and itโs not a mystery. They are passionate about what they doโฆ they are passionate about who they serveโฆ and they work their butts off.

We canโt expect students to take greater ownership of learning unless weโre also willing to empower them as learners.
Greater ownership happens when students experience greater autonomy, mastery, and purpose in the work.
Who owns the learning in your classroom or school?

We can not control a relationship. We can only contribute to a relationship. All relationships, business or personal, are an opportunity to serve another human being.

I've seen the rise of @google, @amazon, and @apple, but this animation really brings it home.

A couple of thoughts:
1. Traditional practice does not equal bad practice. We can't use the terms interchangeably.
2. Innovation is ONLY innovation if it leads to something better. "New" is not enough.

We need @verizon to #ReverseTheFee We use Remind daily & keep our stakeholders informed. Remind is #NotSpam and crucial for our schoolโs communication! Can we get some retweets?

We must stop using #TECHNOLOGY as a synonym for #INNOVATION in #EDUCATION. Technology amplifies human capacity. If our students can't think in agile, divergent, and creative ways, simply adding tech doesn't make teaching & learning innovative. #edchat #edtechchat #edtech #satchat โ at Oswego, IL
