I'm teaching online now, and though I just love it, the dynamics is totally different from being there f2f with students. The video is a true inspiration and I thought like sharing it because it shows the impact on learning when you let it happen in different formats promoting creativity, letting inspiration exhale from so many brilliant minds and talents around us. Certainly, this is an ideal situation, but there little steps that we can start incorporating in our own teaching practices that can make a difference. So, as a tech integrator, are you training teachers? What have you been doing to help them organize their own "student inspiration centers"? I'd love to know more about that because when I get back to Brazil I'll keep on giving support to the teachers at my school in edtech issues. Dear Nancy,

I'm out of the regular classroom for the first time this year as a tech integrator and miss working with a core group. I loved in the video how the students come back to assist in the center and also teach each other, community members and students outside the program. That's how change and growth spreads- from a grassroots effort that turns heads and inspires.
