What is Hack the Classroom?
Microsoft’s Hack the
Classroom is a free digital event for educators and school leaders designed to
give educators insight into the latest trends in education. Come learn from
education thought leaders, innovative classroom educators, and students who are
changing education by empowering their peers and students to navigate their own
learning and teaching practices.
Microsoft says, “We are bringing together inspiring educators and thought
leaders and sharing their secrets worldwide. We’re bringing disrupters in
education to you to spark a two-way dialogue; hear their story and ask them
questions through live Q&A! Bring your questions, connect with peers, and
empower your students. Take a step towards transforming your classroom and join
us to hear about successful teaching practices that have disrupted the education
space to improve student outcomes. Don’t miss it!”
Educators who attend Hack the Classroom will leave inspired and able to
incorporate some new ideas and tools into the classroom so that their students
can achieve more. Hear from Hadi Partovi (founder of Code.org) and Dale Dougherty (founder of MAKE Magazine) who have hacked learning spaces
across the globe to provide experiences for students that allow them to improve
computational thinking, critical thinking skills, and creativity.
