PowerUp F: Smart Use of Time, Space and Tech
How might we use time more creatively—to empower students and teachers? How might we use space differently to push learning beyond the bounds of the classroom and open up the wider community? How might we use technology effectively and appropriately to enhance student learning and expand teacher capacity?
In this PowerUp, we’ll explore those questions through excerpts from “The First Class,” a documentary that follows the founding class at Crosstown High, an XQ high school in Memphis, Tennessee. You’ll see examples in how the Crosstown team stretched some of the conventional limits of time, space, and technology to create deeper and more expansive learning experiences.
A PowerUp is a concise, just-in-time learning module designed to address a specific topic or practical skill, typically lasting between 1-2 hours, and is offered individually or in bundles to support professional educators with immediate, actionable content.
