An Uncommon Revolution

I had the honour to present The Bootstrapping Checklist at the Reimagine Education Awards in Philadelphia on December 5, 2016. I am a Teacher for the TDSB and this program for my Grade 8 students, the result of over 10 years of research and experimentation in the classroom, was Shortlisted to the Teaching Delivery Category.

The power of guided iterative design such as The Bootstrapping Checklist is that it provides the seamless integration between pedagogy and technology needed to accelerate technology adoption by students and facilitate sustained entrepreneurial and socially innovative student projects. It is inherently mobile, social, and cloud based, and it demands that students use validated data to make design decisions.
