Being a Learning Designer at VERSO really is the dream! I get to learn alongside our learners new things everyday, while working with such talented people @DoItByDesign. I love being surrounded by awe and wonder. #VERSOSCHOOL

What will it look like when all is said and done with #COVID19 and we return to school? My school is attempting to cross this 'finish line' so I started thinking about "new school". #pypchat #mypchat #onlinelearning sonyaterborg.com/2020/03/27/…

This has been my favorite drones activity yet. Students coded a real life Flappy Bird game with the drone acting as the bird! Such an awesome way to practice functions in code. These students are amazing! @gotynker @JFKMagnetSchool @PrincipalDiazPC @MrRomanoRocks #PCpride

STEAM Teachers: How do you incorporate word play into design & 3D printing? What other words would work here? How can Ss test words during the design process? What are the features of letters that work here? #rotation #symmetry #math

Guessing this would work well along the 401 corridor in Southern Ontarii including Toronto. #hawksmakerspace #greenenergy
In Turkey they're testing using wind from passing busses to rotate wind vanes and #solar panels. We have the solutions to the #climate crisis. The only thing missing is the political will to implement them ⁠#ActOnClimate #tech #climate

Phew!🧠🤔💖3 days of @RonRitchhart #CCOT @AISLearns 🎉 so many golden nuggets but #1 takeaway: for better & deep learning, take the TIME to build a thinking culture! If you want to go beyond the surface, have #VisibleThinking routines as part of your practice. Have fun with it!🙌
What would be in your pop-up library for a teen biomaterial/ bioengineering sustainably design camp? A few books for #biojamcamp

WHAT SCHOOLS SHOULD BE DOING! "While learning has historically been associated w/ mental acquisition of a curriculum, schools today are recognizing that our young people must graduate prepared to tackle complex, real-world problems that are rarely found in textbooks." #dtk12chat
While learning is usually associated with strict curricula, schools now recognize that students must be prepared to tackle real world issues. Designing for Change, a recent book on @uifellows, brings this trend to light, focusing on research & narratives bit.ly/uif-book
