Did you do the homework? We are walking through the big (super big) points we find in the Most Likely to Succeed documentary. If your heart is not breaking for Scout... well, let's just say it should be.If we asked you to assemble a flower, could you do it? What if education is more like gardening instead of manufacturing? We create prime conditions for growing, and the learners do their thing. Keep the conversations and comments coming - we are LOVING them.Find us on Twitter @techwithchad an...

If we are really going to reimagine education , we have to tell you where we are drawing inspiration from and what we are working toward. We could talk about an idea or a theory all day long, but you need to have the same passion for moving this conversation forward. We've found 'our people' ... are you one of us? You've got homework to figure it out. Most Likely to Succeed documentary:https://teddintersmith.com/mltsfilm/Sir Ken Robinson's "Creative Schools" book recommendation:&n...

What we need is for students to love to learn. Radical idea... what if we rolled back everyone one entire grade level? Let's change the approach, even if no one else is seeing the same problems as us... and flip SAMR on it's head in the process. A new season means it's time to introduce our new(ish) focus... a broader conversation that is meant to help the education community remember our "why", learn to love it again, and make changes based on the idea of personal progress of each stud...

We couldn't pass up the chance on a BONUS episode to officially wrap up Season 2. The fact that we got to do it face to face made it all the sweeter. The amount of learning we've done over the past few months is just plain cool, and we are glad you are on the journey with us. For this bonus episode, we are talking about what works in terms of helping teachers do their thing - content, stakeholders, conversations, and more. Chad was able to spend a day with classroom teachers having chats...

Scratch the tech - it's just education....And that's a wrap on season two, folks! We can't think of a better way to express our thanks for your support and feedback on season two than by a quick recap of some of the highlights and best conversations that have taken place over the last three months, as well as share some exciting plans about what is coming next as we kick off season three soon.Chad shares the obligatory SKR drop while reminding us about WD-40's end game, and Marie has decided ...

We're back! Man, life happens and we could not have planned on a three week delay in posting, but here we are. What does it really mean to "get it right?" Do we really "understand the assignment" that is education? There are some things that we see and hear and read about that just plain work. Keep up with us on Twitter @techwithchad and @marie_roberts2.

Some of the things we love about the schedule... are the same things working against us in education. Find us on Twitter @techwithchad and @marie_roberts2, or drop us a message at [email protected]

When teachers were hired back in the day, a day or two was set aside each school year to 'train' them on all the things they might need (how to make copies, how to request supplies, etc.).Now, there's all the things that take up teacher time - student info and attendance systems, learning management systems, devices, smart TVs and projectors, data collection and analysis, differentiation technologies, etc. How are teachers supposed to get support for the things without giving them the ti...
