Of the many themes picked up in Crystal Alberts’ EduPunk discussion is the intersection between technology, potential, entrenched modes of thinking and doing, and the need to teach new things to different kinds of students in innovative ways. It’s not simply about doing what we know how to do better, but it may be about inventing new ways to teach and to learn. Hopefully the conversations in this blog will help us all along that path in some kind of modest way.
