One of my favourite stories, watching how Shrey has embraced technology to enable his love of learning; anything is possible with his can-do attitude and the support of his Ts #ConnectED2021 @FCLEdu @PeelSchools @MicrosoftEduCA @ricardomwagner - "I can't wait to work for Shrey!"

[Karen Dawson @KD2dotO]

Always a great way to start your day, hearing from @vendi55 at #ConnectED2021 Using @PlayCraftLearn and @Flipgrid to engage students in his classroom! @MicrosoftEduCA

[Karen Dawson @KD2dotO]

This am at #ConnectED2021 #TeachMeet Lots of planning and preparation, focus on play based learning to develop skills in early years - teaching P1 students, yes, aged 4 and 5 to engage successfully, in online learning using @MicrosoftTeams @PlayCraftLearn #microbit - kudos to Ts!

@MSEducationUK @Jenking__ @MicrosoftEduCA So many highlights from Day 1; one more for me was tuning into @ElkaWalsh and @BBTNB talking about #SEL and creating community through #GameBasedLearning, collaborative and inclusive learning environments for all learners. #ConnectEd2021 @MicrosoftEduCA #Wellbeing

[Karen Dawson @KD2dotO]

@MSEducationUK Here's the one that comes to mind: Enabling student-centred learning that is inclusive and accessible. #ConnectEd2021

[Karen Dawson @KD2dotO]

"A student would rather go without than standout". "Our basket is full of tools we can use to engage our students!" #digitalclassroom @Flipgrid #MicrosoftTeams #studentvoice #growthmindset #justrighttool @ElkaWalsh @MicrosoftEduCA

[Melissa Schroeder-Hribal @Schroederhribal]

The global pandemic has given unprecedented insights into global education & the need for equity & #accessibility for all students. Conferences like #MicrosoftEdu #ConnectED2021 are available to everyone! #ConnectED2021 #ClassroomoftheFuture #MIEExpert https://t.co/7l1YBXrYBd

[Karen Dawson @KD2dotO]

What are the middle of the road strategies we can learn to use with our students (and our parent community) during a pandemic to support #SEL and #Wellbeing? @CMcKee27 #familyevenings #makingconnections @Flipgrid @PlayCraftLearn @MicrosoftTeams #ConnectEd2021

[Karen Dawson @KD2dotO]

Loving @p_gartland energy re positivity, creativity; @sd43bc focus on develop knowledge, skills and value, independent & wellbeing goals for #2030, core competencies to be successful in life, flexible environments, hybrid model as we return to in-class instruction #ConnectEd2021

[Karen Dawson @KD2dotO]

Reducing cognitive load; loved hearing @p_gartland talk about one educators journey from feeling she "couldn't do tech" to engaging with her students using @PlayCraftLearn in her classroom! #ConnectED2021 @MicrosoftEduCA @sd43bc

[Karen Dawson @KD2dotO]
