I feel like creativity and creating is not valued by everyone in our current society. If we engage students in connected learning, and support creative processes will that be better integrated into our society?

There are so many different barriers students can face when wanting to connect with others, and affinity groups can help eliminate some of those barriers. Whether its a student with a physicals disability, a student with lone/unique interests, or maybe just a student who is shy- affinity groups could be a powerful resource for them (and every other student as well).

I would love to have all of my students involved in an affinity group, but I worry about being able to identify all my students interests, connect them to a safe group, ensuring career and academic knowledge is gained, while still meeting the standards.

Trying new things! Seeing wonderful sights. https://nowcomment.com/documents/138956?scroll_to=2201868 https://nowcomment.com/documents/138956?scroll_to=2201868 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 13:16:14 -0500 To me this has a couple of meanings. I think it could be taken literally, or it could be talking about a jazzy feeling in the air, which makes them feel alive. https://nowcomment.com/documents/138956?scroll_to=2201867 https://nowcomment.com/documents/138956?scroll_to=2201867 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 13:16:14 -0500 These lines remind me of exploring a new place. The excitement and curiosity in the air as you see new sites and try new things. Its also a good reminder to explore locally, these feelings can be found in your community. https://nowcomment.com/documents/138956?scroll_to=2201852 https://nowcomment.com/documents/138956?scroll_to=2201852 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 13:16:14 -0500
