The story of the first girls' schools in #Iran, which began operating at the turn of the 20th century at the behest of #Bahai spiritual leader 'Abdu'l-Baha.
"...the higher access for #women's #education observed in today's Iran is the result of that #development effort made more than a century ago."
Today's warm take:
What we need isn't a killer #edtech app. We need training in methods and philosophies that will help us make learning online easier, so that we can make distance #education interesting and engaging, rather than exhausting.
Out of all the solutions I've tried so far (Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet), Zoom has had the broadest set of useful features for #education: breakout groups, interactive annotations that can be enabled at will, broadly configurable user permissions... I'd also like to play around with Jitsi meet to see how a FOSS solution stacks up against the big corporate offerings. #edtech
OK, seriously though, it's pretty amazing just how productive we can be with all of the online meetings. At our house we've been helping to run distance education courses via the Ruhi Institute—helping participants develop community-building skills. There's at least one session every night, sometimes two.
Sure, it's a bit harder to connect when you're not there in person, but it just makes things so much easier and faster when you don't have to travel to and fro. #distanceeducation #education
