The House of Burgess - I am continually amazed by the efforts of educators I am connected to. I see their tireless efforts to improve education and support other teachers to change education. This includes educators like Michael Matera who has been a force to be reckoned with in Gamifying the classroom. Alice Keeler who is my go to for Google Apps continues to find new ways of innovation with Google including creating scripts and extensions. Matt Miller says Ditch the Textbook and infuse technology in meaningful ways. Paul Solarz who I met in my first #tlap chat has always been a force for student centered education. And there are many more that I could include in this list. I chose this group because they all have something in common. They are all connected to Dave Burgess. Dave began as a high school social studies teacher, pioneer in engagement and wrote his Teach Like A Pirate book. He has not only inspired countless educators he has supported many others with his publishing company which includes those mentioned above. Each of the amazing educators above have written and published books via Dave's publishing company.
