Special Guest @KalebRashad will join #IMMOOC on Saturday, October 1

We are pleased to announce that Kaleb Rashad will join us for our YouTube Live session on Saturday, October 1, at 4pm PST (7pm EST).  As always, the session will be recorded so don’t worry if you miss it!

Here is a little bit more more about Kaleb:

Kaleb is the director of the Gary & Jerri-Ann Jacobs @hightechhigh (OG)!! | We are first and foremost an equity project. | We believe that passion matters in work and life. We think school should be a place where you find out what you’re good at doing, what you love to do, and what the world needs.

As a school, we exist to be EXCELLENT to each other & do BADASS work.

My belief in #HumanCenteredDesign is deeply rooted in my dissertation research on relational trust and I believe that #HumanCenteredDesign can be used to AMPLIFY our sense of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. 

As you might be able to tell, Kaleb is extremely passionate and forward-thinking. We are looking forward to hearing from him.

To-Do’s

1. Watch last week’s show with Shawn Clark and Brady Venables (or listen to the podcast on Soundcloud or iTunes).
2. We encourage all participants to blog a weekly reflection and share a Twitter video (the ones posted have been awesome so far!)
3. You can also subscribe to the podcast which has the same information.
4. We want to answer your questions on the podcast, so please submit them before Saturday, October 1.
5. Finish your blog posts for the week and twitter reflection video by Thursday morning to have a chance to be shared on the immooc.org blog.

Moving Forward

We have really appreciated the sharing that is happening, and the human connection being created by the Twitter reflections.  Here is an example of one from Tisha Richmond:

What impact would this have if you do this type of reflection in your own school? What would this look like if teachers did this instead of a classroom newsletter including students?

The hope is that some of the things that are happening in this process will not only make an impact on you long term, but also give you some strategies to bring innovation to life in your own context.

Keep being amazing and thanks for all that you are sharing. Have a great week!
