Systems of Support | Supporting Educator Excellence through Technology and StrategySyst... - 0 views

  •  
    As thought leaders and practical innovators in education, we live in the intersection of technology and strategy. We look deep into the reservoir of the research literature, balanced with the real-life of today's educational environments, to share content for your immediate use (or at least to encourage immediate thinking). This site is a modern day chalk board where we sketch out our ideas, discoveries of others, and "stumble-ons" that we had no idea existed. Jason Gibson (the strategist) and Jason Carroll (the technologist) are popular conference speakers that have engaged educators, counselors, and administrators from across the globe (often referred to as The Jasons). Heavily influenced by the tpack, universal design for learning, and systematic instruction frameworks, we focus on tools and strategies that make a difference.
