The Ethics of Innovation & Reform in Education
This post was originally posted on Figuring It Out by J. Bevacqua
I recently read an article about the innovative and creative exploits of Google.
The article attributed many of Google’s most innovative and successful projects to the idea of “moonshot thinking” whereby Google takes on “highly experimental projects that will become industry changing success stories or total failures
Such thinking has been attributed to projects such as Google Glasses, Project Loon , self driving cars and more recently Calico - a health company that “will focus on health and well-being, in particular the challenge of aging and associated diseases”
The creative and innovative energy around these initiatives excites me. I want to create that same energy in schools – for both students and teachers.
As a teacher/administrator I want to inspire students to strive for “moonshot thinking” in their own
