As people who are interested in innovation, we are constantly amazed at the unstoppable ingenuity of our Ontario educators. And we want to share those innovations with anyone who will listen. At the same time, we recognize that there remain some big persistent problems that have dogged our existence. And they need to be solved. It’s just the right thing to do.
So we want to put our heads together and make a difference. Creatively. Fiercely. With a commitment to finding solutions that work with real people. This site is a tribute to that wish. And an invitation for you to join the innovation.
Tell us about the innovations you’ve seen or share a persistent problem that you believe needs to be solved. We’ll post your stories and consider your problems. If you’d like, we could even end up working on something together! Either way, thank you for sharing and we’d love to continue the conversation.
