This has been a busy month culminating in an exam and final paper for my graduate course in instructional design. Consequently, I haven’t been participating in the Global Education Conference. However, there was one session that I made time to attend: Students redefine school by Monika Hardy (@monk51295).
Monika speaks with passion and conviction about the learning and education. Her commitment to learning and the innovation lab where students notice – dream – connect – do is inspiring. As educators, we must think about our students as individuals with passions and interests; we have a responsibility in schools to help students connect with their passion for further action.

Monika's innovation lab is truly inspirational. I wonder at the ways education would change if every school included innovation lab.
I agree, Kelley. Then we had Kiran Sethi come to talk about design for change at our school last week. I don’t think that action for change should be a competition but I’m busy trying to conceptualize how I can implement the innovation lab into middle school next year. Going to test aspects of it next semester. It’s perfect since we have dreams in our school objectives.
