Resources & Learning Opportunities

[Misha Eydman]

I would like to start a thread where we can share any potential sources, such as online information, webinars, meetups, etc. which can further our knowledge of educational pedagogy and how it is approached by technology.

Here is a resource which was suggested to me. They run frequent webinars related to teaching numeracy in low income countries:

About Deeper Learning:

Deeper learning is simply what highly effective educators have always provided: the delivery of rich core content to students in innovative ways that allow them to learn and then apply what they have learned. Rigorous core content is at the heart of the learning process; true deeper learning is developing competencies that enable graduating high school students to be college and career ready and then make maximum use of their knowledge in life and work.

The basic concepts of deeper learning are not new to education; indeed, they are routine educational practice for many accomplished individual teachers and educators and some high-performing schools. These successful practices are now being confirmed by increasing bodies of evidence underscoring the necessity for deeper learning as an integral part of the education process.
