Educators from across Alabama were charged during the keynote of Mega 2014 to imagine. Imagine what it would be like to create and engage students in experiences that allow for collaboration, 21st century technology skills, and application to post secondary life. Imagine a day where learning not only occurs, but it happens with excitement. Our students are waiting for us to share with them not only content, but application to life. On the first day more than the content, the rules, or even the paperwork, our students need to know they matter. Somehow I imagine, if that is our focus to start, the rest will fall into place. Thank you Dr. Bice for not only encouraging and inspiring, but for believing in what we do each and every day.
