I'd love to see student documentaries and space to see/hear what issues they are passionate about.
A2 cont: This year in with is the first time I've seen a teacher take full advantage of this for students' benefit
More interactions outside of the classroom/stronger relationships developed between Ts, Ss, and families
A3: I think in the same manner as was commenting about on-demand live video teaching through social media platforms
A3: I'm afraid education will soon rely completely on tech, which is teaching kids to rely on it. We should be teaching....
A3: i'd love to see more platforms made specifically for educational purposes and conversations
A3 (continued) ss about the real world, not the electronic world https://t.co/qKZcZNIrfR
A3: I'm afraid education will soon rely completely on tech, which is teaching kids to rely on it. We should be teaching....
A3: I think we are advancing in the classroom but we are forgetting about what works best for our families...still need balance
always a balance. Tech is a tool not a toy!
More student voice around passions and social justice.
A3: Constant immersion in the class. Not bound by boundaries or brick and mortar walls. Education is moving closer everyday!
agree, there's something empowering once you get the first one out there even if no on reads it
Get kids sharing what they are passionate about https://t.co/QfZ5kRDKu9
