Learning: it's personal.

Collision Points - the coming together of ideas from diverse perspectives. This is required if we are going to make educational impact during COVID-19.  We know when we are getting it right when Kindergarten learners are giving instructional feedback to their teachers during Distance Learning. Listen in - it's happening at Design39Campus.

When we create the space for the possibility of failure, we actually are creating the space for authentic learning. COVID-19 has turned the educational space up-side-down. Listen in on what can be learned from a campus that has spent the last six years reinventing  "school" and what it means to be a learner. Embrace ambiguity, embrace change, embrace the ones you love.

COVID-19 has closed school, changed the way we work, interact and connect. The impact on our social emotional well-being is taking a toll.

Home is where you park it. Kelly Eveleth, her husband and two children travel the United States in an RV. Listen in how talking to strangers is not so strange.

Discovery - it's learning at its best.  Follow the Eveleth family on their 12 month learning journey at https://goldfishandramen.wordpress.com
