Today I'm thankful for this conversation with @greggbehr and @RyanRydzewski on their wonderful @remakelearning podcast: https://t.co/eOW4kToaT4

We discuss the question, "How might media makers, researchers, and youth co-design media experiences that matter?"

#kids #technology

[Remake Learning @remakelearning]

How do we flip the script on media and technology, and use it to create shared experiences instead of individual ones?

@reallymdp from @CooneyCenter joins us on this week's episode of the Remaking Tomorrow podcast! Listen wherever you pod, or here: https://t.co/dhgrwmm8Za

Thanks to everyone who came out for our #SXSWEDU panel with our amazing Medha Tare, Maria Janelli (@Scratch), Shayla Cornick (@DigitalPromise), & Joanna Cannon (@WaltonFamilyFdn ). We're thrilled to have had the chance to share this conversation with you.

We recently hosted some co-design sessions with @aerdf w/ tweens who don't love reading. We learned about barriers to reading and design features they would like to see (and avoid) in literacy apps for reluctant readers. https://t.co/HbILIGVOig

If kids could design a social networking app for themselves & their peers, what would it look like? @azadehjamalian shares highlights from some co-design sessions conducted for the #CooneyCenterSandbox with @MrsWOfficial and @TheGIANTRoom. https://t.co/RDCnicN3cj

,@foundry10Ed is an excellent resource for those interested in #edtech. I wrote about their early research on student perspectives of VR in education for Virtual Reality Pop! on @Medium

.@reg_inee says we need to consider how VR/AR tools, which rely heavily on visual processing, might work with assistive technology and might be designed to allow for multiple physical modalities

@foundry10Ed What system would I need to enable classroom full of kids to be able to use and share the headsets?

@foundry10Ed They also need to keep #equity considerations in mind. Can all students participate? How can I plan for that?

#edtechchat #vrinedu #DIW2023

[Michael Preston @reallymdp]

@foundry10Ed Educators should consider if they're ready to take on a learner role with their students - to be discovering together, with expertise distributed in different ways
