This week, I wanted to experiment with Anchor FM to create a brief podcast synthesizing the takeaways from Mary Hertz: What Does "Technology Integration" Mean", The Most Persistent Myth by Pierce Cook, John Spencer: "The Real Issue Isn't Student Engagement", and the SAMR Framework. The focus was "Facilitator" this week.

This week's tech eval tool of choice was Parable of Polygons, an interactive simulation designed to teach students about how bias can shape society and negatively affect people. After experimenting, I have found it to be a great tool for students to engage with issues of social division in a social studies classroom. Discovered through my PLN (Edutopia) in an article by Matthew Farber (2017) titled: "Exploring the World in Your Class"

I used storyboardthat.com to synthesis the information learned from this week's resources. The first was a podcast titled: "Three things that excite Ben Kelly: UDL, Action, Research, and Minecraft", the second was (Salend, 2009) "Technology-Based Classroom Assessments: Alternatives to Testing", the third was (Lindberg, M. 2015) "Avatars and Activists: Digital Gaming for Social Justice Educators"

The Crisis

The education crisis is a complex puzzle with layers of issues from attendance to teaching quality. Underlying all of these complex layers of failing education systems in the country lies a severe lack of leadership.

At Teach For India, we are building a movement of leaders who will eliminate educational inequity in India.

The Fellowship Program

The Teach For India Fellowship program, is an opportunity for India's brightest and most promising youth, from the nation's best universities and workplaces, to serve as full-time teachers to children from low-income communities in some of the nation's most under-resourced schools. Through this experience of teaching in classrooms and working with key education stakeholders like students, principals, and parents, our Fellows get exposed to the grassroot realities of India's education system and begin to cultivate the knowledge, skills, and mindsets necessary to attain positions of leadership in education and identify their role in building a wider movement for educational equity in the country.

Join The Movement

It takes a movement of citizens to solve the crisis. You could be a part of the solution. Join the movement for educational equity for all children and for a better, brighter India.
