Without innovation, improvement would not exist. I was challenged to begin innovating the world around me, and I did that by developing an innovation plan. I then proved the effectiveness and importance of the plan through conducting a literature review. The world is changing, as is technology, and we need to innovate to prepare our students for the digital future.
New Beginnings
Innovation & The eportfolio
* Collaborating through ePortfolios
* Innovation Plan *UPDATE*
These experiences helped me to cultivate my growth mindset, grow my professional learning networks, and develop my learning manifesto. I began to use COVA to take ownership of my learning and find my voice as I explored the core concepts of learning in a digital age.
* Growth Mindset Plan
* My Learning Manifesto
I've learned that creating significant learning environments (CSLE) requires engagement, connections, innovation, growth mindset, COVA, and more. A significant learning environment is based on a strong learning philosophy of constructivist theories; it uses big goals and backwards design that allows students to be active participants in their learning. When incorporating technology into the learning environment, it is important to do so in a significant way.

CSLE + COVA-Making Change
* COVA
Once I had the idea to create change, I needed to learn how to go about doing it. It is important to consider the why, how, and what of our goals. Using leadership skills, I learned how to communicate with others effectively, influence others to join me, overcome resistance to change, and encourage innovation. Leading change requires influence, execution, and communication.
* My Why, How, & What
* Leading Organizational Change
Part of being an effective innovator is knowing if what you are doing in the classroom is working. Are students engaged? Are students learning? What are students learning? Sometimes we know right away if a method is effective or not, but other times it takes intensive study to determine the effectiveness. Assessing digital learning through action research is just that - an intensive study in which educators measure the effectiveness of their own practices. Based on results, I can plan for improvement, and the research continues to conduct in a cyclical nature.

* Action Research
Assessing Learning & Digital Tools
It is also important to explore and evaluate environments and resources. The number of available digital tools is constantly increasing, so I need to be able to find ones that are valuable and help transform student learning. Part of being a leader is discussing the practical implementation and pedagogical value of environments and resources for educational use. In this program I have found my voice and passion and communicated my thoughts.
* Digital Learning Environments
Designing instruction is something I do daily in order to help my students learn. Designing online instruction, however, is slightly different. The teaching is still based on the same principles, but the teacher and students are not physically in the same place. This presents challenges as educators still need to apply appropriate learning theories, create significant learning environments, align instruction/activities/assessments, and meet curriculum standards and expectations while connecting with students to help them develop a lifelong love of learning as critical thinkers and problem solvers.

I have also learned in this program how to effectively engage a group of my peers and colleagues in professional learning. To do this it is important to remember that professional learning needs to have ongoing time, support, active learning, opportunities for material to be modeled, and should be specific to my audience.
