Segment 1: Summer Professional Development Opportunities

Nick does

Segment 2: Books

  • Debbie Tannenbaum Transform Techy Notes to Make Learning Sticky
  • Episode 82
  • Kyle Anderson To the Edge of EDU
  • Throughout To The Edge, Kyle shares his story of how risks have shaped him into the person and educator that he is today. From risks that resulted in immediate success to ones that elicited failure and regret, you surely will be inspired by Kyle’s story. Take yourself to the edge and become more of a risk-taker in your life and career! #ToTheEdgeEDU
  • Mandy Froehlich Divergent EDU: Challenging assumptions and limitations to create a culture of innovation
  • The concept of being innovative can be made to sound so simple. We think of a new idea. We take a risk and implement the new idea. We fail, learn, and move forward. But what if the development of the innovative thinking isn’t the only roadblock? What if so much of your day is spent solving the issues around you that even the attempt at developing new ideas is not even on your radar? What if you long to have more divergent teachers in your school district or to be that divergent teacher, but you simply don’t know where to start? This is where I was as a Technology Integrator several years ago. I knew what innovative teaching looked like, but I didn’t know how to support all the other areas that were taking teachers away from having the time and the brain space to think innovatively and divergently.
