Sublime message from @DalaiLama to @AESDelhi students today, "Your job is to make the world a better place."

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

Great to have @AmSchoolHague students back creating in the DT Lab! #DesignThinking #ASHexperience

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

Proud to be a part of a school that lives our mission and vision to provide opportunities for students to build a better world through applying their skills outside the classroom walls! #Collaboration #middleschool #designthinking

[American School of The Hague @AmSchoolHague]

Before the winter holiday break (& the current lockdown), some of our middle school design technology students began collaborating with the ECC on their garden program. Such an incredible opportunity and rich meaningful learning in action: https://t.co/PfeEKZyRUg

@trev_mackenzie Yes, please.

Day 1 - 7/8 Design Technology students @AmSchoolHague begin to collaborate with teachers at the ECC on designing and building potting benches, vertical gardens and a mud kitchen for ECC student use. @phrynearson #ASHexperience

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

Teachers showing vulnerability sets a terrific example for students about the importance of being a risk taker. Another good take away from @trev_mackenzie as part of our professional learning @AmSchoolHague today!

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

As we think about #student_agency @AmSchoolHague Love this question from @trev_mackenzie “Am I doing something for my students that they should be doing for themselves?”

This one got the gears turning - Fav line "top-down “improvement” doesn’t create the conditions necessary for bottom-up innovation." #k12 https://t.co/oFQndsnUrZ

Looking to connect and share resources with other businesses or organizations developing incumbent worker training to address the #skillsgap in an #industry40 environment.

YES! - Learnability is the #1 skill for future success. #Mindset is one key to this. @rkowalsk #pathwayswi

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

@rkowalsk making a strong case for digital technology is significantly changing roles and skills and the need to address leakage in the talent pipeline. #pathwayswi

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

45% of companies worldwide report talent shortages. Another reason WHY career and technical ed is vital to #k12

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

S's know about Siri and Alexa - most have little understanding of #AI https://t.co/Nu08caoRux has curated a terrific set of resources. Be sure to read their excellent whitepaper https://t.co/LfHjxpsVAi for the big ideas and how AI fits in a #k12 #computerscience #curriculum

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

Just some of the benefits of youth apprenticeships. These one or two year experiences are super important for many reasons including #workforcedevelopment #ACP

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

Ditto for #robotics and yet more evidence that incorporating problem solving and the 4C’s is vital to any #EdReform efforts!

[Hadi Partovi @hadip]

AI Will Create Millions More Jobs Than It Will Destroy — so long as our education system prepares today’s students for a future where all careers require increased understanding of how technology works and how to create/innovate in a digital world. https://t.co/iN3b0ze39T

"The beauty of experiences like #HourofCode is that even though not every child who participates will go on to become a computer programmer, engineer or scientist, they will still come away with a new perspective on critical thinking and reasoning." https://t.co/GdEmMed2GA #k12

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

Teacher friends please take ten minutes and watch this important video. Our #Students future success depends on us providing these opportunities. #k12

Excellent article on how #Making and #makered align super well with what we know about brain development, #GrowthMindset and student #engagement . https://t.co/c6QdXxyCDA

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

Awesome day teaching model #coding lessons for all #k8 students and teachers at SSPP in Independence, WI. Great #engagement and #CriticalThinking as we celebrated #HourOfCode

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

Spent a great day serving as volunteer judges for the @VEXRobotics competition at Southland High School in Adams, Minnesota. Terrific energy as 14 energetic teams of elementary and middle school students collaborated, iterated, and competed at this amazing event!

[Gary Coyle @Gary_Coyle]

Just discovered @HemingwayApp a terrific easy to use tech tool for supporting #writing in the #k12 classroom. Both #teachers and students alike can get readability feedback to help make their writing clearer. https://t.co/j5vdfBg95J #ell
