The Hottest Posts Everyone's Reading

Here’s the roundup of what's been popular on The Innovative Educator blog.

A new post takes the lead this week. It questions the need for bells in school and proposes a more civil method for scheduling time in schools. Following that is a post remembering the young Joe Bower who we lost too soon and someone from whom I personally learned much. Next up is a post from my #VibeEdu tour of Israel that shares the importance of using social media to change perceptions.

There are a few more posts to round out the top including one that addresses why we need to stop freaking out about screentime and another that shares lessons learned from my trip to Israel. Rounding out the top is a post that looks at the value of sharing a meal to learn about history and diversity. 

I hope there's something that looks of interest to you.  If it does, check it out. If you’re inspired use one of those icons below the post to share it with others and/or leave a comment.
