So why are these elements so important in the work that we do? If we are preparing our kids not only for their future, but in reality, for their present as well, we want to empower students in their learning, not simply be passive in process. To do this, we are in the process of implementing Google Apps for Education and using Edublogs to create student portfolios throughout the entire division. We believe that this creates a strong beginning to build capacity amongst all staff, while still encouraging the “innovators” to be innovate. By also narrowing the tools we use, we feel that we will be able to get to the “transformative” level of learning and give students and staff the opportunity to do things that there were unable to do previously.

Tony says, "As teachers we must model the values of innovation. We must be willing to take risks." Outstanding TED talk - a must watch for all teachers.
