This is the part where I humbly ask for your help. As I dig deeper into teaching, writing, and speaking about techquity, I need thoughts and insight from people outside of my own head. Any thoughts and questions you can share, will help me to do my work better! These are some questions that I’ve brainstormed, but anything is welcome and appreciated. I believe education is a field where everybody is a stakeholder, so I’d love to hear from teachers, as well as anyone else with a thought to share! Please share your thoughts in the form below.
