A former elementary and middle school math teacher, Nicole understands the pressures that integrating technology into a curriculum can put on teachers, so her goal is to ease that anxiety for her colleagues.

My letter to you this month about innovation will take a slightly different direction.

Innovation can start with a dream, and after that the
