How to Build Resilient Online Learning Communities
Description:
COVID-19 exacerbated inequities that educators have long worked to address and opened up opportunities for students to learn and connect online. Virtual afterschool programs have the potential to help close equity gaps by introducing students to technologies like AI while engaging them in hands-on challenges to develop skills like resilience, collaboration and problem solving. Key to success is building community capacity by supporting the adults in their lives – parents, educators and mentors.
