Is The Juice Worth The Squeeze?
Jay McTighe said something that stuck in my mind while he was at our school. He wasn’t talking about technology and education but his words can be applied to the area. He was commenting about innovation and asked, “Is the juice worth the squeeze?” As a technology using educator, it’s important to always keep this idea in mind. Whenever I propose a new idea to a teacher, I need to make sure that it’s worth the effort–the squeeze. Being worth the effort means the student will learn more deeply or more quickly.
