The Innovator's Mindset

Tosha Caston-Smith shared with you:   The Innovator's Mindset connectedprincipals.com - Carol Dweck's famous book, "Mindset", was one that was (is) hugely popular with educators, not only in helping shape their work and thoughts on students, but also pushing learning in educator with their peers. There were two simple concepts shared that resonated with many readers; the "fixed" mindset and the "growth" mindset. Available on the App Store.

We need schools to be different

Love this!   Tosha Caston-Smith shared with you:   We need schools to be different Dangerously Irrelevant - As Clay Shirky has noted, we currently are living through 'the largest expansion in expressive capability in human history.' We no longer live in a world where we passively receive information that is broadcast out to us by large, centralized entities. Instead, we now live within multidirectional conversation spaces in which 12-year-olds can reach audiences at scales that previously were reserved for major media companies, large corporations, and governments. We all now can have a voice. We all now can be publishers. We all now can find each other's thoughts and ideas and can share, cooperate, collaborate, and take collective action. Time and geography are no longer barriers to communicating and working together. Available on the App Store.
