Dr. Dominguez will share research and activities and resources that came out of co-design efforts with an emphasis on the impact for children from economically disadvantaged communities. Dr. Shell will showcase the Learner Variability Navigator tool which can be helpful in identifying learning goals when involving families in the learning process. Additionally this edWebinar will:
Highlight a collaborative project with media producers at WGBH (public television) and researchers at Educational Development Center (EDC) that involved teachers and researchers co-designing math resources for young learners, including hands-on activities and digital tools, to promote math skills that are often not taught in public pre-k classrooms serving children from economically disadvantaged communities.
Share emerging findings from a collaborative project with Curious Media and SRI Education that investigates how to integrate computational thinking (CT) and mathematics.
Discuss findings from various projects aiming to connect home and classroom learning in order to provide learning experiences that connect to children’s everyday lives.
