@ziegeran Trailblazers Magazine Yes! If we want true Ed transformation #stuvoice must be represented beyond just “we had a student focus group.” Young learners are invaluable to this conversation & should be in the room where real decisions happen

What an amazing new resource! Let's hope many teachers and students can benefit from this "treasure trove of information about Black communities" of the Reconstruction. #education #edchat #edutwitter #teachertwitter

As sophomore Audrey Thompson wrote in the most recent issue of Trailblazers, receiving feedback is crucial, whether from a teacher/expert or from one's peers. This template would be great for any students struggling to give effective feedback. #teachertwitter #edchat #education

Interesting model! This brings to mind Jasmine Setchell's article, from Issue 8 of Trailblazers, on her experience with self-directed learning. Hopefully more and more classes can transition towards utilizing Stage 3 and Stage 4 learning activities. #education #edchat #teachers

What a wonderful resource on digital, project-based teaching by Getting Smart! The advice is sound (would definitely have enlivened more than a few online classes last year), and the examples included with each tip are also useful. #education #edutwitter #edchat #teachertwitter

Love hearing from #younglearners, but as a Stu myself I have to ask, #why when Stu are brought to panels / sessions at conferences do they only ever get asked about their past in edu?? Why are we not bringing Stu into the conversation about right now & the future of edu? #SXSWEDU

“What would you change” #Stuvoice: -“change the way teachers teach. It’s a lot of textbooks. I won’t remember most of this” - “Equality. Education wasn’t seen as a priority in my community. We need top notch teachers for everyone.” - “Equal education & opportunity” #SXSWEDU

Congratulations, Class of 2022! We here at Trailblazers wish the best of luck to all graduating seniors (including our own editor, Mantra Burugu).
