I could see putting digital badges on college applications and using those to show what skills you have mastered through online platforms.

I think that the generation gap is such a challenge for the progression of student learning though media because the older parents and teachers don't understand the current media trends. It would be so powerful if we had the time to explore and understand these gamming programs like minecraft, Starcraft and Littlebigplanet. But the reality is we don't have the time to understand the games and so we cannot see it as educational and cannot support our students and guide them through it.

Building relationships and making connections with people is so important for a young person's future opportunities. Having mentors and coaches that can support you and guide you on your path can really make a difference in how far you get and how successful you are. Sat, 27 Nov 2021 05:10:54 +0800
