This concept seems to lean towards entrepreneurialism and the potential to even create a classroom/school currency. How to build in the value of money can be a challenging topic, but in what ways might you incorporate a system that would encourage students to work towards earning money and creating resilence through the…Read more

The agency of the students is a good way of putting it and I think something I need to be very mindful of as I work through developing my HMW and my next steps. I like how that brings them into it and makes them a part of it. It’s a subtle and powerful way to give them some ownership for being there and gives them a sense they…Read more

I thank you for sharing your story and the pieces you collected along the way. Physical things do make something real, don’t they? I have a student who is totally hooked on programming because of a robot project in Grade 9. Thank you for reminding me of that.

It’s good to know the struggle is real in other parts of the Cohort21 and the teaching community. I will definitely keep posting and I would love to touch base as the project develops. It would be great to see it spill over into other areas like Math and Science.

I honestly struggle so much with how to incorporate DEIJ into Computer Science. I’m sure what I’ve done so far has helped but it still feels surface level.

There definitely are different kinds of boxes from different people and organizations. We all have different ideas of what good and great look like.
