Welcome! |
Hi there and welcome to 21st Century Education!
I am an educational curator and would like to build an online resource with a group of educators. While I am based in New Zealand, there is no reason why we cannot make this an international resource with other STEM teachers, special needs teachers, mathematics and literacy teachers.
I'd also like to connect up with the likes of Brene Brown's work in our current Covid climate and help teachers and parents assist their students and children in some very uncertain times where they will be facing some huge traumas and anxiety and home and around their learning.
These goals can feel overwhelming, however if we do what we do best - that is collaborate and support each other, we can get through this together! I recently watched a class collaborate on Minecraft Education to build their school on Minecraft with very little discussion about where students were going to build and what was so profound to watch was how these students worked together like an army of ants going to work, filling in the gaps and supporting those who needed more help quite naturally. It was incredibly fascinating to watch and taught me a lesson on the power of collaboration and how many hands can make light work! I'm hoping to do the same with this website by adding trusted educators and specialists to this site.
The idea is that this website would provide a free resource to our international community of educators. We are moving more towards progressions and next steps in our teaching and learning, so international differences in levels should not really be an issue to a resource bank such as this.
If you would like to be part of adding your rich expertise and resources to this collaboration, then please contact me.
Kind regards
Michelle Moorcroft
