How can I take away learning from things or concepts that may not necessarily be directly related to my content area? How can we model making these connections for our learners so that they can make these connections themselves? What are some of the ways that you create your own learning? How do you connect and share? Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.
