Becoming a #payitforward ninja: #1 why explore these virtues?
Apr 28th
Each week for the next 10 weeks, the foyble guys will be exploring the virtues of a #payitforward lifestyle. You can read the first post here. This weeks post is #1 of 10- why explore these virtues for your life?
Before we get into the virtues that every pay it forward ninja has we thought we would spend some time thinking about why we are doing this. In doing so we hope that you will consider a similar thought exercise- why consider the virtues of a #payitforward lifestyle? And in considering these virtues, what do you hope to accomplish in your own life, or the lives of your loved ones?
In this series we are hoping not to simply give you our opinions on giving, each post will also have a few resources you can use to craft your own view of what it means to be a #payitforward ninja. This post, though, will be a little more extemporaneous- that is, we are going to tell you why this is important to us. More >

Note: Special thanks to Chad Sansing and Dr. Jack King for helping us get this post together. Check Chad out here and Jack out here.
Imagine your students on the Act Map!
foyble is working with Dr. Jack King, creator of Leadership Upside Down and Chad Sansing of the Community Public Charter School in Charlottesville, VA, to create a service project-based curriculum that educators and administrators can use to provide an educational opportunity in an inspirational package to meet the needs of educators and administrators, students, and communities.
The philosophy: foyble will help schools and children help build new relationships in their communities. Administrators, teachers, and students will use social media to help students, teachers, and administrators learn together through instuctional technology, with content standards that deliver academic rigor. The curriculum will be developed in a way that will support administrators efforts to draw funding from multiple sources so that service projects have an opportunity to be fully funded. Educators should be able to meet professional development goals while working on the service projects with students. More >
