Soapbox Moment: The Zappos EdTech Tool
Mindset



Barry Schwartz: “All of this choice . . . produces
paralysis, rather than liberation. With so many options to
choose from, people find it very difficult to choose at all.”

Barry Schwartz: “Increased choice decreases satisfaction
with matters as trivial as ice cream flavors and as
significant as jobs. It [increased choice] requires increased
time and effort and can lead  to anxiety, regret,
excessively high expectations, and self-blame if the choices
don’t work out.”

Jam study by psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper

an advocate for all students, especially those
traditionally underserved by the U.S. educational

student learning while not losing sight of the importance
of seeing each student as a unique and important member of
a classroom or school.

promote student inquiry, learning, and engagement. Over the

world. Donnie was the recipient of a National Geographic
Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship to Antarctica, and he also
represents Kentucky on the inaugural National Geographic
Education Teacher Advisory Council.  He is the North
American lead for the Google Earth Education Experts

leads professional development at school districts around
the state. Donnie lives in Lexington with his wife and
three children.
