At 40 years old I was worried… do 40 year olds learn new technology? I didn’t think I had the courage to step outside my comfort zone to learn the technology that would cause me to not only learn, but teach to the students.

We go to edcamps, conferences, webinars, etc. need to keep this in mind when sharing with the intent of moving teachers forward with technology integration. The old adage of ‘less is more’ most definitely rings true with technology integration. Have you ever had either of these feelings?

As a classroom teacher, I would have definitely described myself as a “Tech-Fearless Educator”. I’ve always enjoyed exploring to learn and definitely embraced that in my own teaching and learning. Don’t make the “fearless-tech” teacher your only go-to for all things technology. Have an unconference led by your campus teachers.

When Sean Crevier accidentally wandered into the room where educators at a Milwaukee Edcamp were discussing 20 percent time projects, also known as Genius Hour , he stayed only out of politeness. By far the most important step to ensure these projects go smoothly, in his experience, is the problem definition phase.
