As educators adapt to this strange new world of distance and blended learning modalities, are we capitalizing on opportunities to learn from our learners? Are we listening to the voices and choices expressed by our children for insight into the lived experience from the perspective of expert digital natives?

The world of education is changing, our future is of our making, and educators just like you are creating new educational destinations.
