The group is joined by guest host Jeff Fastnacht and discusses how to build urgency in schools and talks about electives/recess in school. The "I have a question segment" goes to guest host Fastnacht with the following question, "What would you do with a enormous budget for K12 schools?"
The group hears from Perry about the "Summer of SAMR" and talks through student engagement at all levels. They also discuss if schools are are too focused about minutes for the core curriculum while forgetting some of the other items. Jeff brings the question to the "I'd like to pose a question" segment.
The SAMR group discusses how IGNITE 2025 looks in the Elementary levels through different items shown during our grade level meetings. They also discuss things for Elementary teachers to know in Canvas. Julie sort-of brings the "I've got a question" to the table and the whole episode is mixed with juvenile humor and ends with Cameos from Perry's phone.
