9. A Teacher’s Tale of Technology, Trust and the Struggle for Freedom
“[S]tudents had choice as to how they were assessed, I replaced multiple-choice quizzes with group videos and PowerPoints….We began using QR Codes for inquiry activities and Google Docs for feedback and collaboration, in place of worksheets. Projects went from extensions of content to extensions of self, with questions that were relevant to my students’ worlds and realities. By the end of the year, students were crafting all of their playlists using the tools and systems we had set up for learning independently.
Someone once said that if the solution is obvious, then it’s not a problem.

10. A Teacher’s Tale of Technology, Trust and the Struggle for Freedom
Technology and blending the learning in the class had opened doors, and my students gained confidence with each passing day. My students were on fire. Technology and blending the learning in the class had opened doors, and my students gained confidence with each passing day. They felt as if they were on a path made for them and by them. Despite most of them starting the year below grade level, we ended up handily beating the state and district averages on our high-stakes assessments that year.”
