Robin Emmons - Extraordinary People Changing the Game
Can someone who loves gardening as a hobby really make an impact? Robin Emmons did so with the help of volunteers and donors who made Sow Much Good grow from a backyard initiative into a community project. Tired of the rat race, Robin quit her job to do some self-searching. After a couple of weeks, she was told of her brother being held in jail for an undiagnosed schizophrenic outburst. Concerned about her brother’s deteriorating health in the mental facility, she volunteered to bring fresh produce from her backyard garden… then realizing that her purpose was just around her—literally.

Doc Hendley - Extraordinary People Changing the Game
Biker. Bartender. Tattooed. “Rough around the edges.” It’s hard to imagine how the same man can also be called a humanitarian, philanthropist, NGO founder, and hero. That exactly what makes Dickson Beattie "Doc" Hendley extraordinary. He doesn’t have an illustrious educational background. A C-student is how he’d describe himself - an average guy who happens to care so much for others that he literally risked his life to get results. He founded “Wine to Water” after a stint in Darfur at the height of the genocide. His 501 (c)(3) non-profit aid organization has helped thousands of people in 13 different countries. Yes, he’s a CNN Hero. To read more about Doc Hendley visit www.thextraordinary.org

This blog from Kay Cantwell highlights a school's 1:1 ipad roll out. I especially appreciate the plan that was developed around apps.

- Rather than be overwhelmed with apps, or being seduced by limited, content focused apps that had all of the bells and whistles but little quality pedagogy, lists of Core Student and Core Teacher apps were developed, as well as a list of apps suitable for Inquiry Learning.
Ludwick Marishane - Extraordinary People Changing the Game
Ludwick Marishane has no qualms admitting that, ever since he was young, he’s been searching for ways to be an agent of change. He may be best known as the man behind “DryBath,” the first cosmetic of its kind that works for the rich and otherwise. Odorless and biodegradable, it allows people to bathe without using water - you just apply it to your skin and you’re good to go. But, before he reached 17 years old, he had already invented a healthy cigarette, a mobile dictionary, and nearly published a nationwide security magazine.
