Google Philosophy
Focus on the user and all else will follow.
It’s best to do one thing really, really well.
Fast is better than slow.
Democracy on the web works.
You don’t need to be at your desk to need an answer.

Google Philosophy
You can make money without doing evil.
There’s always more information out there.
The need for information crosses all borders.
You can be serious without a suit.
Great isn’t just good enough.

Applied to Learning
Focus on the student and all else will follow
It’s best to teach a few things really, really well.
Fast is better than slow.
Democracy in the classroom works.
You don’t need to be at school to need an answer.

Questions that come to mind...
How can we use these tools for our own professional productivity?
How can we incorporate these into our own schools?
What can schools learn from innovative businesses?
What are WE doing differently?
