Do you agree?? I DO!!
Lots of great ideas being shared by educators. There are solutions to provide youth the type of education they require. It is important to innovate, stop doing things the way we have always done them, utilize technology, work together and stop hanging on to the past way of doing things in education. Change happens when people with a common vision join together to make it happen.
