We lead. We learn. We grow, collaboratively, with our co-conspirators in learning face to face, online, and in blended (face-to-face and online) communities of learning. Above all, we innovate with what we have instead of succumbing to being overwhelmed with frustration over all the barriers we perceive and face, George Couros and Katie Novak suggest throughout their book Innovate Inside the Box: Empowering Learners Through UDL [Universal Design for Learning] and the Innovator’s Mindset) and the Innovate Inside the Box Instagram Book Study group that is inspiring these posts on a social media platform I had not much explored before being drawn in by George and Katie. “The only way to help move people forward is through building relationships and understanding where their journey begins, not focusing solely on where you want them to be,” George writes, and we have, through our participation in this innovative online book study group and our explorations of how we might incorporate Instagram into our training-teaching-learning tool kits, turned that lesson on ourselves as we continue building relationships via Instagram and supporting each other in understanding where our journey has begun and where it just might take us. #IITBCH13 #InnovateInsideTheBox #socialmedia #edtech #innovation #learning #leadership #LeadershipByExample #collaboration #community @gcouros @katienovakudl (at Ocean Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cRPZWnHy9/?igshid=mcxoealtqm70
