Author of Courageous Edventures
My passions are building student agency, engaging educators solve problems of practice and helping both adults and students rediscover playtime. I am also excited about about transforming professional learning, serving on the Technical Working Group for the US Department of Education’s National Educational Technology Plan and co-founding PLAYDATE and other PD concepts. I have been fortunate to be honored as a TEDx speaker, White House Champion for Change, Apple Distinguished Educator, Google for Education Certified Innovator, Google Education Trainer and CPS’ 2012 Tech Innovator of the Year. You can find me on Twitter at @MsMagiera.
