Before becoming a teacher, I didn’t understand why the 100th day of school was a big deal.

Creativity and play are children’s work. They build confidence, encourage risk taking, and ultimately shape the soft skills young people need to negotiate school and careers. But, as children get older, their playfulness and creative spirit wane. They aren’t so keen on trying new things and are often afraid of failing when they do.

You can’t have a conversation about education now without the word data popping up once or twice. In general, data is information used to help make a decision. Whether discussing student progress, school achievement or district performance, data is at the heart of every decision we make as educators. It can range from details about a student’s history/background to performance on a state-wide test to the number of correct words per minute.

For the last 15 years, I’ve been introducing schools all around the world to the value of online learning. It started at the Colegio Internacional de Caracas in Venezuela, when I first discovered the courses from global nonprofit VHS Learning. We began offering online courses to our students for enrichment. As a relatively small international school, we liked the opportunities that the platform offered us and the fact that our kids could take part in courses that we couldn’t offer.

Have you ever checked out the website for an edtech product only to close your computer knowing less about the product than when you started? This common experience illuminates how challenging it can be for educational technology (edtech) companies to communicate what they do and why it is important.
