At the end of June a group of passionate, dedicated educators gathered for one of New Jersey’s last EdCamps of the 2017 school year. Some offered contact information about “classroom designers” and school vendors. The idea of dressing up one’s classroom with the flair and freedom that one might find at IKEA is certainly alluring.

The best example I can think of is the Edcamp movement. The driving force behind the Edcamp model is the need that educators have to learn more about their profession in a world that is changing more rapidly than the education system can deal with. That PD can be general to education or specific to a subject area, or a technology.

If every educator in every school pursued excellence instead of allowing excuses about what students can and cannot do, we would meet the needs of all students. Innovation is about how you use technology. I believe that this happens because some technologies are deemed to be innovative, which can hold some truth. Look at EdCamp.
