Episode 139: Expanding The Walls Of Your District: How Do You Add Value To Your Community?
Another free webinar from Shifting Schools. This time we learn from Steve Murphy and JB Blair. Two teachers in the same district find ways to have their classes work together on projects across schools and across grade levels. Community comes in many forms, creating one within your district is just another way to support students in understanding how to work in a networked world. Links: Slide Deck Padlet Link
