Child prodigy Adora Svitak says the world needs "childish" thinking: bold ideas, wild creativity, and optimism. The power and intelligence of kids are so often overlooked. As an adult, I still need to be willing to learn from children and young adults. Together, we can make the world a better place.
To my students of the 2010-2011 school year, I ask you, what can WE do to create change? How can YOU make this school year the best you have ever had?

Media in Education; Part 2

Media in education is often misunderstood or not used correctly. On June 9, 2010, Jeff Thungc and I presented to members of the Kent School District Information Technology Leadership Team on this topic. This portion of the presentation focuses on how media is demanding a change in the way teachers reach students, and the results of such changes.
