It advocates for sparking students' sense of wonder, using technology to showcase fascinating content, and focusing on community and sharing among educators. While standards are important, joy, engagement, and inspiration should be the highest priorities. Learning environments should cultivate messiness, passion, and willingness to learn from others.

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 20
