How we will learn
MindShift explores the future of learning in all its dimensions. We examine how learning is being affected by technology, discoveries about the brain, poverty, inequities, mindfulness, agency, social and emotional learning, assessments, game-based learning and music, among many other topics. We report on shifts in how educators teach as they apply innovative ideas to help students learn, while meeting the rigorous demands of their standards. MindShift has a unique audience of educators, parents, policy makers and life-long learners who engage in meaningful dialogue with one another on our sites. We try to keep our passionate audience informed on multiple platforms with reporting from us and trusted sources in education. Stay up-to-date and join in on the discussions on our site, podcast, Facebook, Twitter and our email newsletter.
