TeachThought, LLC is a progressive learning brand dedicated to supporting educators in evolving learning for a 21st century audience. This starts with thought leadership and practical solutions for K-20 teachers via the TeachThought blog and extends to learning models, curricula, technology, apps, and other learning tools to experiment with a combination of data-driven and research-supported thinking. TeachThought is primarily interested in exploring new learning models, including the role of play in learning.
Terry Heick, Director of TeachThought, is a former English teacher turned education dreamer who is interested in how learning is changing in a digital and connected world. This includes, among other changes, the rise of self-directed learning.He is also interested in the power of questions, the role of play in learning, clarifying digital literacy, the flexibility of project-based learning, marrying mobile learning and place-based education (especially through mentoring), the potential of video games and simulations in learning, what it really means to “understand” something, and how all of this produces wisdom and self-knowledge in students.
