Educating to Be Human
Our vision for Big Ideas Fest has always been to break through the comfort zone of typical education conferences—with the goal of creating a space to empower educators, catalyze collaboration, and spur innovation. Earlier this year we had not imagined that in December, we would be reeling from the impact of a growing backlash against tolerance, equal rights for all, truth-seeking, and freedom of expression.
BIFnik Spotlight: Bryan Lakatos
We caught up with Bryan Lakatos, Director of Technology & Innovation at The Miami Valley School in Dayton, OH. In addition to being a two time BIFnik, Bryan attended our recent Action Collab Facilitator Training and shared how Big Ideas Fest has impacted his work since he attended his first Big Ideas Fest.
Beyond Big Ideas Fest: Featuring Tara Jahn
We love having educators come to Big Ideas Fest for the first time. When they come back year after year and bring their colleagues, it’s even better. We caught up with Colorado Education Initiative’s Tara Jahn @Tara_Jahn to see how she has been incorporating the things she has learned at Big Ideas Fest through the years.
How did you first come to attend Big Ideas Fest?
