This week, the @CoSN team came together in Northern Virginia to chart what's next for education technology leaders worldwide. We left with clearer focus and fresh energy. Join us at #CoSN2027, April 12-14, in Orlando! 🌴
📚 What Are You Reading Wednesday?
Great books spark great conversations that inspire & challenge us to rethink what’s possible in education!
I’m recommending “Purposeful Technology, Powerful Learning: You Can’t Ban Possibility” by my friend and innovative education leader Dr. @StacyHaw Stacy Hawthorne.
At a time when schools are navigating the challenges and opportunities of AI, emerging technologies, and digital learning, Stacy reminds us that the conversation shouldn’t simply be about what technology we allow or restrict. It should be about how we intentionally leverage innovation to empower students, inspire educators, and create meaningful learning experiences highlighting the evidence and research behind the intentional use of technology!
The future of education requires thoughtful leadership, a willingness to challenge conventional thinking, and the courage to embrace possibility.
I always appreciate leaders like Stacy who push our thinking forward and remind us that technology is most powerful when it serves a greater purpose: student success.
