Research offers insights for working with diverse populations in education. There are theories in motivation and research methods, technology and case studies. Experience the story of how research in practice changed the way student voice shaped learning design, impacted preschoolers, formed identity, and helped at-risk youth find purpose in education. You'll get to try out  Poetic Transcriptions, experience digital ink, and collaboratively co-authoring Sway based on your own student artifacts you can access or bring with you or practice with artifacts provided. Sway works on any device and is easy to create with a mobile device. Look at ways of telling your own experiential learning, story, cross-age mentoring, and cross-country collaboration to share how your work creates bridges across domains and people. See how Sway can become a tool for amplifying voice, co-authoring, and creating digital portfolios.
