There is promise here - for schools to eliminate the achievement gap by supporting underserved students to develop these essential habits of mind, higher order thinking skills and 21st century skills. And it can motivate them to increase effort and engagement with school because this mode of learning is more relevant to their lives. https://padlet.com/johnlarmer/xlnarhqlryjz/wish/141563799 2016-12-03 20:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/johnlarmer/xlnarhqlryjz/wish/141563799 https://padlet.com/johnlarmer/xlnarhqlryjz/wish/141563800 Unless kids have instruction in watching air time and using facilitation protocols, they won't necessarily ensure all voices are heard in their groups.]]> 2016-12-03 20:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/johnlarmer/xlnarhqlryjz/wish/141563800 Lots of different entry points for diff kids.
