From Ken Kay - "Unlike a mission or vision statement, a graduate profile is a document that a school or district uses to specify the cognitive, personal, and interpersonal competencies that students should have when they graduate."
-
From The New York Times - "The tech giant is transforming public education with low-cost laptops and free apps. But schools may be giving Google more than they are getting."
-

From Richard Byrne - "Last week's viral Google Docs phishing scam provided a good reminder to many that we should always give a critical eye to emails and social media posts that don't look quite right. It also served as a reminder that we need to educate students and, sometimes, our colleagues about phishing attempts. Common Craft has an excellent video on the topic. You can watch the video as embedded below or on the Common Craft website."

From Vicki Davis - a variety of digital tools to help teachers check for understanding.

from John Spencer - "But the secret ingredient wasn’t a new maker space or a fancy studio (my students shot the videos on their cell phones). It wasn’t a new program or a district initiative. No, the secret ingredient was ownership. Without the curriculum map, we were forced to go off-road. And, although the road was rocky (hmm . . . rocky road) it was also an epic adventure.

From Eric Sheninger - "Narratives both large and small are valued as tangible evidence of the school’s worth. Stories come in different sizes and hold different purposes, but simply said they keep the engagement going. Sharing through big and small ideas aligned to the focus areas above will result in greater transparency that will help to build better relationships, support, and admiration for your noble work."
-
From Pernille Ripp "I think of the power we hold as the previous teachers of these kids. Of how we decide what gets shared. Of how we decide what is told. Of how we decide what to focus on and we pass that on to the teachers that do not know them yet. So tell the full story, and if you don’t have the full story yet find it before it is too late. "
