Chapter Overview
Students are moved to digital leadership when they are passionate about a subject or topic. Makerspaces, Genius Hour, Inquiry-based learning, and other opportunities to ignite students’ passions should be embraced in the classroom. We never know what will inspire a student unless we give them an opportunity to delve into a variety of topics and experiences.
