I love the passion!

Students need to feel comfortable to take charge and feel "empowered"....don't be afraid to fail.

Lyndsi, I agree these kids feature have a passion for what they are doing. Sometimes I struggle to ignite this passion in my kids who just want to "get it right"

Love the theory, but not always practical. There needs to be some level of direction and control. It needs to be taught. Social media can be a terrible distraction.

Scott is a powerful speaker, so it's hard for me to critically evaluate what he's saying. Yes, these are very inspiring anecdotes. But...how do we reconcile getting out of students' way with making sure that our curriculum aligns with state or national standards? The profiled students found their passion and followed it. How do we "give them" experiences as powerful as the ones they generate themselves?

Amazing to think of all the technology applications that kids can do. I wish I could be creative enough to make a 6 figure salary.
