iCompass.me: the free online app got fancier!

Hieu Nguyen, creator of icompass.me, worked wonders! The free online app now lets you format and align multiple stickies, access recent changes and workspaces, and more.

Or, use Compass templates for Miro and MURAL—and give us feedback—they’re being submitted for official inclusion!

 
 

Widescreen backgrounds for each question

Thanks to people hacking spaces for one question at a time into their Jamboards, Miro, and so on—great idea!

 

VIDEOS

 
 

In this video, Ela Ben-Ur introduces Innovators’ Compass—and the power of one observation or idea to unleash the power in one student, teacher, parent, team, leader, community, and district, as well as in rural communities and major companies. After showing it, Holly Doe facilitated an in-person workshop at the CoSN National Conference for Edtech Leaders in Nashville.

 
 

Break through barriers to tackling challenges with groups of people, using the 5 Questions of Innovators Compass, just 1 instruction, and lots of facilitation ideas. About 30 minutes with pauses for activities.

Originally created for the Teacher Success Summit.

 

WAYS TO HELP

 

Please take and share this 5-minute survey about how we see “stuck.” It is a huge help to this work and the upcoming book to make this work accessible to even more people.



UPCOMING UPDATES TO WATCH FOR

  • Book Beta Testing! I’m working on a book with short, fun chapters and activities to change our relationship with stuck.
    In later 2022, I’ll rally a cohort to form a book group to read/review the chapters and try out the activities! Reach out if you’re interested!

This work needs YOU to try it, share it, and share stories!
