#virtualclassroom, allowed me to see slides with fresh eyes. It was a game-changer. It has almost infinite formatting n design options. One of my favorite #techhacks of 2020. My students love it too. Here’s a 6.1 highlight! Kingston Intl School 🔗 bit.ly/38vIU6s 🔗

Looking back at the learning, innovation, and problem-solving in unit 4. Next stop in 6.1-PYPx. The Empathy stage set up a range of possible issues, the most common was online learning related. How can we maximize our workspace/living spaces? #problemsolvers #designthinking
