A3. I would like to see some mandatory curriculum on self development and leadership for kids. #cdnedchat

A4: Without direction, chaos. With some coaching and direction, Ss can follow their interests and learn in context. #cdnedchat

VirtualGiff Jan 9 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4: Authentic learning! Although it would need to start early so Ss don't fall into playing the game of school. #cdnedchat

Q4: without guidance & direction it could be chaotic however if managed properly it could be very authentic #cdnedchat

chrisp16 Jan 9 @ 8:31 PM EST

A4: Educators would need to get to know their students better and provide them with the tools and resources they need #cdnedchat

Q8: Imagine if you could totally redesign your school and classroom space. What would it look like? #cdnedchat
