Ryerson University sites 3 reasons for the case against him.
1.Learning should be hard.
2.There is no structure of regulation for online behavior and that makes it incompatible with academic work.
3.It is our job to protect academic integrity from any threat.
i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by others, it fails to meet the standard for academic rigor.

“MEASURABLE OUTCOMES MAY BE THE LEAST SIGNIFICANT
RESULT OF LEARNING” DR. LINDA MCNEIL
INNOVATION HAS VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH
“BEST PRACTICE”

WHY EVIDENCE-BASED TEACHING METHODS ARE A BAD IDEA.HTTP://SHARESKI.CA/Y/3E4
“My argument is not with educational research but with the imperative of evidence-based education policy. At its best, educational research can provide important insights into the relationship between various social and cultural variables and pedagogic outcomes.”
WHY EVIDENCE-BASED TEACHING METHODS ARE A BAD IDEA.HTTP://SHARESKI.CA/Y/3E4
But the principal problem educators face today is not the dearth of educational research or a lack of evidence about ‘what works’, but
rather the increasing absence of any opportunity for them to exercise professional judgment and to learn the value of what Aristotle call phronesis – the virtue of judgment.
Experimentation in education should be part of a teacher’s everyday life.
WHAT
do we mean by innovation?
“...make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products.”
“...something that changes the status quo”
“...make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products.”
What is it we can do with technology we couldn’t do

They are, of course, creative and imaginative and effective. Now for the kicker: ten years ago, not one student in a hundred, nay, one in a thousand, could have produced videos like this. It's a whole new skill, a vital and important skill, and one utterly necessary not simply from the perspective of creating but also of comprehending video communication today,

Start using the word
“play”
“...the pattern has been that as children grow up and become more proficient at making sense of the environment in which they live, their world seems to become more stable. Thus, as a child grows and becomes accustomed to the world, the perceived need for play.”
“As we watch the world move to a state of near-constant
change and flux, we believe that connecting play and imagination may be the single most important step in unleashing the new culture of learning.”

As a principal, the ‘tension’ was in wanting to be encouraging of innovation, but also wanting to ensure, as a school, we were moving in a common direction. As a district leader, the ‘tension’ is more in trying to set direction for the district but giving the freedom and flexibility to schools to each have their own “signature” one that is informed but rarely prescribed by the District.
