Equity and Learning in the 21st Century Classroom: an ‘unHangout’

The Connected Learning TV series brought together classroom teachers, university researchers, and contributors to the new MacArthur Foundation/NWP eBook, Teaching in the Connected Learning Classroom,” in order to discuss how Connected Learning could increase equity and access for students, offer multiple pathways to openly networked learning, and inspire civic engagement – all within the academic classroom with teachers leading the way.

The month-end ‘unHangout’ took place at 1:00pm PT/4:00pm ET and participants shared what they had learned/what was inspiring to them from the past month’s conversations.
