Feel like you’re SPINNING your wheels? Maybe youre spinning the wrong whe!
Feel like your SPINNING your wheels?
Maybe you’re spinning the WRONG wheel!
This holiday, don’t just reflect on the past and make plans for 2021.
What’s the first action towards your goal? Try it out and see if it helps. This is less a goal and more a #NewYearsHypothesis.
What’s your #NewYearsHypothesis? Comment below.
Story time...
Sharpening my soldering iron with the grinder was NOT working.
The bit was getting FLAT on one side, like sharpening a pencil with a knife.
Turns out it wasn’t the grinder wheel that needed to spin.
It was the soldering iron bit.
A few replaced capacitors later, my brother’s TV is now good as new.
My #NewYearsHypothesis is that many will stop spinning the direct instruction standardized test wheel and start spinning the #CreativeLearning and portfolio wheel instead.
Anyone want to be a test subject?

How will WiFi 6 impact classroom connectivity in the next 4-5 years?
Tech tip for Educators: Invest only in devices that support WiFi 6.
WiFi 6 is the most significant technology to impact classroom connectivity over the next 4-5 years.
It was specifically designed to enable everyone in a classroom to connect at the same time.
It’s also faster, uses less power, and many new devices already support WiFi 6.
How does it work? Consider this analogy:
You’re waiting in line at the bank... they only have one teller.
Still waiting...
Suddenly a second, third, teller arrives and opens up shorter lines!
That’s the principle behind Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) in #wifi6
Next time I’ll expand on the value/cost of WiFi 6 vs 6E, what should schools buy today? Should they wait?

🌏 Teacher Prize Winner Shares $1M Award 💰
🏆 $1M Global Teacher Prize was awarded to Ranjitsinh Disale in India.
📚 You may recall his mention in Satya Nadella’s #HitRefresh book for rewriting entire textbooks in students’ primary language for FREE.
🎖He’s a HERO for announcing that he will SHARE $500K with the top 10 finalists, but this leads to the uncomfortable question:
🤷🏻♂️Have we become NUMB to teachers having to pay out of pocket in order to do their jobs?
💰Isn’t there a business model where educators can get royalties for scaling their best practices so they have long term recurring income?
❓How would you make one
