Week 8- Free resource for teaching digital citezenship
EverFi is a free resource that is partnered up with different organizations such as NHL, singers such as Pharrell Williams that allows these courses to be a free resource for education and teachers! EverFi has 10 + years experience, 8000 schools, 180 employees, 9 million students, 1000 partners and innovative investors. I think that is it really neat that the NHL is involved and they have created courses such as math and science of hockey for grades 5-7- focusing on science/ technology/ engineering/ math and integrating these areas together, as well as alchoholedu, etc.. I think that students would be extremely engaged in this type of course work if they are interested in hockey or sports and would help them understand it in a way that works for them. Being someone who struggled with math a lot, and science a little bit in school I think that this would have put it into terms that I would have understood and would have enjoyed math more. I think that these courses are an amazing resource for teachers to use to teach students and have I mentioned it's FREE! That's awesome, especially when your first starting out teaching! This was a great presentation!

I felt the same way Shaelyn! Always great to get in contact with, and learn about a free resource that is eager to help us aspiring teachers out. Their courses could definitely provide that difference to some students who just aren't enjoying the typical classroom experience.
ReplyDeleteThis was a good presentation and was done by a unique individual. I didn't really know what it was all about at the beginning, we could have used a better intro but it was good information. I almost nailed the amount of schools in New York. I couldn't believe they only have one division. I think the more big name partners you can get in education the better. Target the money to advance the kids who don't have much of it. Good Post.
