On the first Tuesday of every month our entire team meets to brainstorm how to level the field for all #students using supplemental online learning. But EVERY day, for the last 23 years, we've put students and schools FIRST. #nonprofit #supplementdontsupplant @vhslearning

[Carol A. DeFuria @CarolADeFuria]

Have you had a chance to connect with online learning expert @onlineeduman at #LearnLaunch? Our MA-based nonprofit @vhslearning helped launch supplemental online education for high school students 23 years ago. Who knows online learning? We do!

Superintendents @EduQuinn of @MendonUptonRSD, @PPS_DrMaestas of @PlymouthSch and Steven Hiersche of @beverly_schools will be sharing their insights on what they want from #edtech like @VHSLearning. I can't wait to hear their thoughts! #onlineeducation #learnlaunch2020

[Dr. Patrice Torcivia Prusko @Profpatrice]

When talking with students we need to help them imagine their future selves. Yes this is important especially for #womeninSTEM we need to find ways to increase access to role models, and share the stories of all the different possibilities #LearnLaunch2020

Today's keynote @HendersonKaya and the first session I'll be attending at @LearnLaunch today discuss equity, which I have presented on at other events recently. Very interested in the new perspectives! #learnlaunch2020 #onlineeducation #edchat #edtech

[Jim Dachos @onlineeduman]

I'm ready for another great day at @LearnLaunch! Can't wait to see what's in store for today's sessions. #onlineeducation #edtech #LearnLaunch2020

[Jim Dachos @onlineeduman]

Thinking back -takeaways from @KatrinaStevens1 @LearnLaunch session: Schools with the highest equity, social-emotional learning, and school culture survey results have the highest academic performance data. Something to think about! #learnlaunch2020 #edtech #onlineeducation

[Christina DiMicelli @MrsDi]

Students want:
🌟 to belong
🌟 to be accepted
🌟 to be supported
🌟 to be in positive learning environments
🌟 to be treated (these are HS) as more than "just kids"

me: why does this seem to be so hard? Everyone... reflect.
#LearnLaunch2020

[Jim Dachos @onlineeduman]

Yes! #onlineeducation needs real world support and collaborators in order to be the most effective. @VHSLearning looks to support not supplant #edtech #learnlaunch2020

[Dave Quinn @EduQuinn]

It’s the relationships between students and teachers that matter most to meaningful cultures of learning — Ethan Lefebvre #LearnLaunch2020 #MURSD @NipmucRegional #stuvoice

[Jim Dachos @onlineeduman]

Wow absolutely! Students need to be engaged in real world applications of curriculum #edtech #onlineeducation #LearnLaunch2020

Projects need to be
⭐Hands on
⭐Rooted in real world
⭐Open ended so students can explore & bring interests into it
