Abstract

Our contribution to this issue features a K12 school district + university partnership related to technology integration, and explores the connections between technology, teacher learning, creative risk taking, and failure. Austin Public Schools (APS) and the LT Media Lab (LTML) have been engaged in a research-practice partnership (RPP) for seven years to support technology integration across the district. Through four cases, this article explores the role of technology and failure in influencing teachers’ learning and creativity related to technology integration practices. These cases illustrate how technology is the catalyst for teachers’ learning through creative risk-taking within different school contexts.
