Connected Educator Month

Slow Tweet Book Chat, Week Five

October 30, 2016

VSTE is pleased to welcome Sarah Thomas (@@sarahdateechur) as guest moderator for the fifth week of our Slow Tweet Chat Book Group. She will be leading us in a discussion of the Fourth chapter of The Missing Voices in EdTech: Bringing Diversity Into EdTech by this year's conference keynoter, Rafranz Davis. This chapter focuses on the unspoken inequity: people of color of edtech. While we certainly encourage you to read the book, you are welcome to share and comment even if you haven't quite finished the reading.

Classroom Snacks: Wise County, October 27, 2016

October 23, 2016

Classroom SnacksAs educators, we spend lots of time talking about students but not much time talking to them. VSTE is working to change that by providing virtual visits to classrooms across the Commonwealth. Our "classroom snacks" will take place on Thursdays throughout October.

We'll continue the series  with three groups of students from Wise County on Thursday, October 27, 2016.

Join us in our Adobe Connect room to listen live or access the archive later.
