Change is pushing to make the world the way we want it to be - hopefully better! #edtech4good
Fellow staff members and the surrounding community are our best partners in creating collective change. I started a whole school engagement project at my school and was successfully funded using @DonorsChoose. It has had a fantastically positive impact on our school.

My @donorschoose projects were for a whole student engagement project encouraging student voice. I ask questions about school, student interests and life in general. I look to my #PLN for inspiration and creative endeavors to try.

A2: I've always partnered with local businesses and parents for lesson collaboration. i.e. Come in and talk about their occcupation or a specifice S learning objective. With the new @Flipgrid feature we can now share topics which is a game changer. #edtech4good
Starting the fire.
If you see something that needs to change educate people about it.

Take on a leadership role and change will happen!
