Brainzooming
• Ground Rules
– Encourage new ideas
– Say what comes to mind
– Use fast, furious, and short brainstorming spurts
– Say and write down all ideas
– If someone has a “why something won’t work” comment, they need a “how it CAN work” comment

Approach • Innovation + strategic collaboration + digital
literacy = meeting the need
• Embedding digital literacy into all literacy programs to achieve balanced literacy, relevancy, and digital confidence
• Incentives: Getting hardware into student homes and teaching them strategies for access
