  • tdj6899 - Moderator May 16 @ 9:02 PM EDT
    As UrbanEd is a growing focus within Ed Strategy spaces how can Hip-Hop culture be used to rethink the strategies #HipHopEd
  • tdj6899 - Moderator May 16 @ 9:03 PM EDT
    It is also Hip-Hop Appreciation Week so as scholars, artists, fans & stake holders in the culture lets focus on rethinking ed #HipHopEd
  • tdj6899 - Moderator May 16 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    Hip-Hop Culture is a living example of synthesis so we should incorporate this level of thinking in our classroom/projects #HipHopEd
