Vintage Innovation redefines innovation not as new and flashy but as better and different.

It isn't a rejection of new approaches or cutting-edge technology so much as an embrace of the old and the new.

It's the overlap of the tried and true and the never tried.

It's a mash-up of lo-fi tech and new tech.

It's the idea of finding relevance by looking back and looking forward.

It's a focus on timeless skills in new contexts.

It's the idea that innovation happens when teachers take a both/and approach as they empower their students in the present to prepare them for an uncertain future.

If you are a teacher, you are an innovator.

You are the experimenter trying new strategies.

You are the architect designing new learning opportunities.

Apps change.

Gadgets break.

Technology grows obsolete.

But one thing remains: teachers change the world.

And one way to do this is through a vintage innovation approach.

With vintage innovation, teachers ask: How do I innovate when I don't have the best technology? How can I use vintage tools, ideas, and approaches in new ways? How can I use constraints to spark creativity? How do I blend together the tried and true with the never tried?.
