Prisma Asia & Oceania Family Padlet! by David Waitzer https://padlet.com/david2973/nhnhxg4nwi3i5ean Share, connect, and engage with our global Prisma community! en-us 2025-08-20 20:12:59 UTC 2025-09-05 12:23:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Prisma Asia & Oceania Kick Off! david2973 https://padlet.com/david2973/nhnhxg4nwi3i5ean/wish/3552698072 This 30 minute long welcome session is designed to kick off our year together, meet other families in our part of the world, and start building the connections that will carry us through the year ahead.


To support that, I’ve created this interactive Padlet where we can:
✨ Introduce ourselves and where we're from
✨ Share your Prisma journey and what brought you here
✨ Celebrate your learners’ passions
✨ Ask questions and support one another

👉 How to use it:

  • Click into each column and add a post - feel free to include photos, emojis, or just a few words.

  • Comment on other families’ posts if something resonates or connects with you.

  • Come back any time! This space will be here throughout the year as a living hub for our community. I will share the link on our Mighty A&O Quick Links page.

I've been watching and waiting for the right moment to join. Now that Ricky is a little older and we are settling down after 5 years of travel, I believe it's the perfect time.

There are many things that made me choose Prisma. Their philosophy and values around learning align with mine. I know Cody will like the project based approach (as that was the part of learning she thrived on at her previous school which was an inquiry based IB-school). I like that she still has a class/cohort to interact with on a daily basis. I love that Prisma uses the same MAP-tests as her previous school, to monitor her growth. I can probably list at least another dozen things, but will end my post here.

She felt not good in the beginning when I reminded her of that, so we talked with this for a bit time to help her understand why there are projects. I was not sure if she understood when we were talking, but she achieved some left projects this weekend with more fun that I can feel she was really happy during the whole progress!
