They have to do it with their hands, too.” – Dr. Karan Watson, STEM 4 Innovation Keynote Speaker Recently, I attended the incredible STEM 4 Innovation Conference at Texas A&M University. I would definitely recommend this conference to any educator in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education. […]
In my blog I often talk about how we need to send students on meaningful learning missions and help them discover how to make a meaningful life. I was so excited to see ISTE keynote, Jad Abumrad, inspire teachers to help students learn what makes a meaningful life. Jad Abumrad also talked about getting students to commit […]

Baby Savvy spoke to Matt Frattali (@heymattfrat) who introduced us to his very […]

Baby Savvy spoke to two incredible leaders who we connected with on Twitter in the first year I joined, Elana Leoni (@Elanaleoni) and Patrick Larkin (@patrickmlarkin).

Jackie Gerstein notes in her video interview that baby Savvy […]
