Session Description:

Students are often forgotten when it comes to bringing together stakeholders to talk about education. By giving students a choice in how they learn and present their learning, we can tap into their passions which often produce higher quality work. A student showcasing their skills on something that matters to them, will not only give them access to their voice, but allow them to share that with confidence to their audience.

• Padlet for Brainstorming / Reflection
