 What is LearnShift?  

Picture
LearnShift.org is a teacher-created coaching and support network dedicated to guiding the evolution of thought and practice
​teachers experience as they consider the use of digital media and tools to support student-centered learning.
​

In the midst of this unprecedented time, education has reached a tipping point that requires every educator to be more digitally savvy than ever before. This moment in history will change the future of teaching.  A new normal for how teachers, students and parents communicate will follow; one infused with digital tools and media to support learning. ​ Successfully shifting to this new format will require more than knowing how to use any technology tool.  It requires reimagining lesson designs to leverage the unique affordances of each tool or media to keep students engaged in learning while simultaneously ensuring that every student has opportunity to master content and demonstrate understanding.  To assist with exploration into how to approach this challenge, our innovative teacher-volunteers have chosen to share their expertise and professional services through philanthropy.  Learn more on our About page.
