As we drift apart physically, let's not forget the students who feel isolated even when a virus isn't closing down their schools. Techrow's non-profit delivers access to educational experiences to traditionally underserved students. #atriskstudents#inclusive#onlinelearning
I am in awe of the leadership, resilience, creativity, heart, and strength you all have demonstrated during this crisis. It is such a testament to the beautiful spirit of educators everywhere. #LeadLAP
If you know someone struggling to gain online educational support, please share this with them. Many of these platforms are also great for teachers & school districts not prepared to handle this transition. #onlineeductiation#onlinelearning#inclusiveness https://t.co/jQiUA5VJaL
To adjust to #COVID19's impact, Techrow is building immersive educational experiences for students & teachers. That means creating customized online courses, expanding our video library, & fueling student-to-teacher interaction. #virtualreality#onlinelearning#onlineeducation
"It isn’t that those impacted wish for schools to remain open...[but] life without a safe place for kids to go & learn reveal how integral the school system is for New York City’s most vulnerable..." @collier#educationforall#safespaces#inclusiveness https://t.co/EnenwJ2Lcj

Getting students to engage with the material can often be a challenge. Now that classes around the world have turned digital, it's understandable that some educators are worried that teaching just became more daunting. #teachingfromhome#virtualclassroom https://t.co/acPvJch8ZB
Despite having unprecedented access to digital tools, kids in 2019 felt increasingly anxious & isolated, & very few took advantage of the creative and educational opportunities that access to technology affords them. What needs to change? #edtechrevolution https://t.co/8ZRToZvZpJ
School leaders while you are planning for distance learning, please identify at-risk students. There are a lot of young people who rely on our schools as a place to be seen, heard, and protected. They need us to be there champions by calling, texting & checking in.
