Course of Mind
Learning first, technology second
When it comes to learning, technology isn’t always an enhancement. Static images can sometimes be better than video, and Powerpoint presentations can often be a hindrance.

Know thyself: The power of a reflective educator
As educators, we teach the students we believe they are. But if we don’t know who we are as teachers, how do we know who our students are?

If teachers are never taught to explore those lenses, they are missing who their students truly are. By un...
