Just the other day I was applying for an "Innovation" team spot through my school district. I decided to start with the definition of 'innovation' and work from there. Change, transform, revolutionize, all of these words are perfectly applicable in everyday teacher-life, right?

In addition to being uber-excited, I was so inspired looking back at old posts and clips of things that I've looked up before in regards to PBL and transforming classrooms. What a perfect time of the year to think about what will be done differently next year in terms of innovations.

Mini-posters

By Anonymous
It is already June, and I dont' feel like I've done anything of importance! Maybe, that is a good thing :) Today I have sat down to map out my biology class curriculum-again. I do  this every summer to incorporate ideas that I've discovered over the year. Today, I am focusing on my labs that I do/want to do in class.

So basically, these 3 gals are doing what they love, and I love what they are doing! The resources are designed for a blended classroom and integrate the latest & greatest Web 2.0 tools. The book discusses Hyperdocs, which can be easily described as creative, interactive, digital curriculum. Although google apps are the main driver behind the hyperdoc idea, the flexibility and ease of creation allows instructors to utilize the entire web! The information doesn't shy away from pedagogy, either. There are standards, learning outcomes, and instructional design checkpoints. In fact, this intentional instructional design is what separates the hyperdoc from a digital worksheet. I can't say enough about the inspiration I've had from reading this book AND the clicking around on the website .
