Very cool fellowship opportunity from United Way of New York City for NYC middle and high school ELA teachers to incorporate computer science into literacy instruction! Run don't walk!

Join the wonderful folks at foundry10 for a discussion right here about overcoming barriers to successful VR/AR implementation in schools - cc: XR Association Joan Ganz Cooney Center #edtechchat #vrinedu #DIW2023

.Reginé Gilbert says we need to consider how VR/AR tools, which rely heavily on visual processing, might work with assistive technology and might be designed to allow for multiple physical modalities #edtechchat #vrinedu #DIW2023

If kids could design a social networking app for themselves & their peers, what would it look like? Azi Jamalian, PHD shares highlights from some co-design sessions conducted for the #CooneyCenterSandbox with @MrsWOfficial and The GIANT Room. bit.ly/3QIyyHG






Thanks to everyone who came out for our #SXSWEDU panel with our amazing Medha Tare, Maria Janelli (@Scratch), Shayla Cornick (Digital Promise), & Joanna Cannon (Walton Foundation ). We're thrilled to have had the chance to share this conversation with you.


We recently hosted some co-design sessions with Advanced Education Research & Development Fund w/ tweens who don't love reading. We learned about barriers to reading and design features they would like to see (and avoid) in literacy apps for reluctant readers. bit.ly/3wPiah8 #literacy #cooneycentersandbox





Today I'm thankful for this conversation with Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski on their wonderful Remake Learning podcast: remakelearning.org/remaking-tomor… We discuss the question, "How might media makers, researchers, and youth co-design media experiences that matter?" #kids #technology
