Another final thought: Educators thinking about activist pedagogy have designed curriculum we can remix in different spaces. This example via @aprilbakerbell et al https://t.co/6wuH17vNIX #LRNGChat

My takeaway is that there is power to helping students understand the ways digital activism compliments and helps coordinate local activism. We should study both. #LRNGChat

A1 while most issues that come up are related to them, many of the youth I work with bring up Reconciliation with Indigenous people. Youth care more about issues than just affect them. #LRNGChat

I’m reminded tonight that if you’re not living what you’re teaching, or at least trying really hard to, then you’re probably doing it wrong. Why teach to others what we won’t bother with ourselves? #LRNGChat

A great way to ask students to seek positive change is to remind them that they can. And that no one’s coming to fix everything for them. Also - many of the most important changes are small and local. Small moves matter. #LRNGChat

A6 One way to encourage youth to make change is to make the texts created by young activists focus of lessons and discussion. We can give young activists a place in our syllabi. #LRNGChat

I don't think we have to pretend we are neutral--- I just don't think sharing my personal opinion is the wisest thing to do at times. For some learners, it completely stops the discussion. #LRNGChat https://t.co/L4NZRgO0Pn

I think we underestimate our students when we pretend that we are neutral and without opinion. Masterful teachers can model processes and habits AND allow for multiple viewpoints to exist in a classroom. #LRNGChat
