Get Inspired By Connect to CDEtop30 EdTech Transformers
Innovative educators love discovering and implementing new ideas to update practices that re-imagine and redefine teaching and learning. One great way to consider practices that can be useful where you work is to learn about what others are doing to innovate where they work.
The Center for Digital Education helps make that possible with their infographic that highlights the Top 30 Technologists, Transformers and Trailblazers achievements. Take a look at these practices and see if there is at least one which can inspire you to try to bring this to life where you work.
In the below infographic (full-size here) you will see these five categories:
- Catalysts for Change
- Innovative Training
- Cutting Edge Tools
- Digital Education Support
- 21st Century Learning
Want to know more? You can read the details, see the list of awardees, and read their profiles. As you do consider if there is something that stands out that you wish to see implemented where you work. If there is, in the age of social media, access to the source is just a Tweet away. Each profile includes a sample Tweet and most contain the honoree’s Twitter handle.
Here are 5 sample Tweets to get you inspired:
- .@luvelleb and his team bring tech, community involvement and personal connections to students #CDEtop30 #edtech
- .@BaltCoPS’ @DDance_BCPS set out to find a way to get everyone digitally connected #CDEtop30 #edtech

DirecTV Might Help AT T Connect MDUs Out of Region
DirecTV Might Help AT T Connect MDUs Out of Region
Most multi-product businesses earn disparate amounts of revenue--and profit--from each discrete product line. In a perhaps-ideal scenario, a mix of young and fast-growing “next product cycle” products as well as mature, cash-producing lines of business contribute to overall earnings, profits and strategy.
Telecom companies are no different, featuring a mix of products, customer segments and growth profiles. And, frequently, profits and revenues from one part of the business are used to subsidize the operation or growth of other segments.
So it is that AT&T’s DirecTV operations might help AT&T grow its Internet access services outside its historic fixed network footprint.
The reason: AT&T plans to serve customers living in apartment complexes outside of its fixed network service area, operating as a competitive local exchange carrier, and offering 100 Mbps Internet access, perhaps using millimeter wave spectrum and fixed wireless.
Obviously, roof rights are required, and many apartment complexes might already have business deals with DirecTV that AT&T can leverage to supply high speed Internet access as well, using fixed wireless to reach some buildings.
The strategy apparently is to use a hub-and-spoke network where a central building is connected directly using optical fiber, while nearby buildings are connected using fixed wireless.
