“...more important than anything is that we must
inspire them to wonder.”
Be aware of wonder.
Remember the little seed in the styrofoam cup:
The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
“With a digital projector waiting back in my classroom, I can't help
looking for interesting, relevant images to put in front of my class.

A digital projector shrinks the time-gap between my
learning moment and theirs. A digital projector has effectively buried the difference between
what fascinates me and what I teach.” Dan Meyer
“If you crack the problem of engagement, not just ‘are you paying attention?’ but ‘are you fascinated by this?’ -if you can crack engagement in deep learning, then
you’ve cracked 21st century schooling” Mike Berrill

Do our students come to school to wonder?
Are we taking advantage of the new tools so showcase and create moments of wonder?

C. Do it but perhaps as an extra-curricular activity because you're not sure where it fits with a robust curriculum but still think it's important.

I’m appearing to accept an odious premise—namely, that joy must be justified as a means to the end of better academic performance. Not so:
It’s an end in itself.
Are our classrooms places of joy?
How can technology be instruments of joy?
