Innovation 4 Everyone

Hi! We just concluded an amazing #ADEchat (Apple Distinguished Educator) on Twitter. So many amazing educators participated and offered a tremendous amount of resources. I have created a Storify of the complete conversation so you can take a look at it and "beg, borrow, or steal" any ideas, recommendations or resources you like.
