Learning from history, by @Marjelaine

What have you learned and unlearned in life? From the COVID-19 pandemic? What do you think we could have, should have, might yet learn? Would love your responses to this essay. Learning and un-learning in life, by @Marjelaine

On the ICE raids in Los Angeles.

Whose lives count? Whose deaths touch us? How does the media shape our empathic connection to human suffering?

This made my day. So many others have inspired me, happy to be a conduit for inspiration to others. Inspiration=breathing in spirit. 😊

Very excited about this book. A beautiful tribute to my mentor, Barrie Thorne.

Dear hive: Help me compile a list of films about im/migrant youth? Documentary, full length, short films...especally seeking ones that address education/learning. I'll start, and welcome more in this thread!

We do not mean to diminish very real problems created by the pandemic. At the same time, we have wondered: beyond what was lost, what was gained and learned in and through all these changes?

We hope this helps expand the conversation about "post" pandemic education. Thanks to all the families who shared their experiences with us. @drpeachbruin @uclaseis #learningloss #homeschool #creativelearningspace @uclacenterx

Drawing from the diary entries of 35 families during the COVID-19 pandemic, @Marjelaine et al. discuss “powerful forms of everyday learning” suggesting “transformative possibilities for education in the postpandemic future” in the #HarvardEdReview.
