Synonyms for innovation include change, alteration, revolution, upheaval, transformation, and breakthrough.

It could be argued that the moment a teacher attempts to be innovative, the organic nature of true innovation is lost. That being said, I see this Innovative Teaching and Learning Series as an opportunity to push myself out of my comfort zone as a teacher while developing new and effective ways educate students.

The Domino Skyscraper task (http://threeacts.mrmeyer.com/dominoskyscraper/) is the type of learning activity that I would like to incorporate more into my teaching, and also be able to create with my students. The learning outcomes addressed in this task can be achieved in different ways; however integrating the technology can enrich the learning while engaging students.
