Our month-long series, Equity and Learning in the 21st Century Classroom, had the final official webinar yesterday; don’t miss an interactive online conference in an unHangout style for our final webinar next week. The series, broadcast in partnership with Educator Innovator and Connectedlearning.tv, focuses specifically on equity in relation to Connected Learning principles.

This fourth webinar, Citizens in the Making: Inspiring Students to Engage in Transformative Civic Learning, is now archived.
