So well said. #ISTE19 We need to work to invest in students. “We’re working with humans, not robots... if a child cannot learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn” - @MichaelBonner_

[Douglas Alexander @TechWPS]

We heard at the #ISTE19 Leadership Exchange that our system is designed to educate white children. Take a look at these stats about Providence students and tell me it isn’t true. #socialjustice #equity #EducationForAll

@larubain Leadership Exchange brunch, meeting with vendors, getting new sponsors and partners for @ri_iste - and of course connecting with other educators and talking about students!!

[Douglas Alexander @TechWPS]

Wifi6 is all the buzz. #ISTE19 @Aerohive

[Douglas Alexander @TechWPS]

When you stop by @D2L for a demo of @Brightspace you *gunsta* get a moose. #ISTE19

@iste @PAConvention Shouldn’t every tech conference just pin this tweet? #nooffense #wifi6

[Douglas Alexander @TechWPS]

If I walk this #ISTE19 Expo floor much longer I may accidentally eat a vendor.

[Douglas Alexander @TechWPS]

Here they are working with @AutodeskEDU too! #ISTE19

[Douglas Alexander @TechWPS]

Heard of @Ultimaker? I hadn’t! Extremely cool digital manufacturing tech. #ISTE19

[Douglas Alexander @TechWPS]

SUCH a vital and overdue conversation. Loved it even though - no, because - it made me uncomfortable at times.

[Douglas Alexander @TechWPS]

The energy in the @Promethean booth is palpable at #ISTE19

[Douglas Alexander @TechWPS]

.@SDPHite spoke briefly and then stayed for the *entire* Leadership Exchange forum talk about anti-racism and disrupting white educational systems so equity for all can happen. Respect that a busy man like him hung in! #ISTE19

[Kelly Sain @kjsain]

Kids are better than adults at being inclusive. Include them in creating #EquityEDU. They are able to go deeper & have difficult conversations about anti racism. Student empowerment!! Diversity conversations in leadership form @mochamomma @ShanaVWhite @RosaIsiah #ISTE19

[Cheryl Cantin @ETSBMathSci]

Wise words from @ShanaVWhite A system that is not built for ALL students must be disrupted

[Douglas Alexander @TechWPS]

“Diversity” has a near-perfect failure rate - go further and practice inclusion. If you want to work beyond “equity lite,” use the language of anti-racism and call out schools for what they are - white systems. #ISTE19

[Douglas Alexander @TechWPS]

“We work in white educational systems.” Built, designed, and run by white people. Why do we wonder why students of color don’t perform well? Be anti-racist - question the values of your system, disrupt it as much as you can or change won’t come. #ISTE19
