This video is insane.
And a great teaching moment.
Reporter asks Bill Belichick (6x Super Bowl coach):
"Why have a long-snapper on the roster?"
Bill gives a 10-minute speech on it on the spot.
The greatest CEOs think so deeply about their craft it's almost weird.
Life has no meaning a priori … It is up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing but the meaning that you choose. -Jean-Paul Sartre
If your school uses iPads, you have to check out the Everyone Can Create series, including the Teacher Guide! Keynote is an incredible tool, goes way beyond presentations! books.apple.com/us/book-seri… #everyonecancreate @AppleEDU

I asked a school principal, a football coach and business leader when their team became a powerful team. They all said when we served each other instead of ourselves. We before me!
Finished units 3 and 4 over the last two days with @AppleEDU #AppleLearningCoach program. Incredible learning happening and wonderful to collaborate with coaches from across the US with all kinds of skill sets and experiences! On to Unit 5 of the journey.

It shouldn't hold our students back. As educators, we cannot continue to use legacy teaching practices with new tools nor can we rely on tech to teach the students.

I agree, and also, KNOW YOUR STUDENTS! All of these influences are wonderful, but based on your students, implement those that will have the greatest impact based on your students. Implement one influential strategy at a time, soon teachers will have a wonderful toolbox!

#ThoughtForTheDay As principals, we should avoid global messages about staff behavior. Staff don't deserve universal addresses. The same holds true for teachers when it comes to addressing students. We need to deal with the offenders, not the entire group. #Culturize

Anonymous surveys perpetuate & breed mistrust. Schools & districts must move to one on one conversations in order to shift from “someone is out to get me” to “someone wants to help me.” Only then can wounded & toxic cultures begin to heal. #Culturize

The problem with the current public education model is that it was created for the industrial revolution. Former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said that the K-12 system “largely still adheres to the industrial-age factory model of education.” learningpersonalized.com/get… – at Sioux Falls, SD

No technology improves learning. It's the design of the activity and lesson planning that make all the difference! #gafe4littles alicekeeler.com/gafe4littles
It's loud! Students using @Flipgrid for their reading responses today! But this "loud" is great conversation around books and reading. 📖🤔🧠 @eecsportland
