Matthews’ innovative teaching idea, “Empowering Students with Tech,” is focused on the integration of Apple iPads into the classroom. The technological presence puts a wealth of rich multimedia assets at students' fingertips and provides an incredible tool for unlimited research possibilities. Not only will these tools be used for research, but also for students to be innovative and create projects that allow them to express themselves. Classrooms will be enhanced with environmental and cultural multimedia through the Global Oneness Project and a culture of innovation where students of all levels are empowered to explore their own passions through Genius Hour (Passion-Based Learning).
