Hawai'i Distance Learning Forum |
|
The Hawai'i Distance Learning Forum is a safe environment for Teachers to share what has been working, what’s not been working and to share ideas and inspiration. It's a private and safe online community for Hawaii based teachers to connect, share ideas, insights and best practices. For teachers by teachers. The Hawaii Distance Learning Forum community is supportive, we share generously, we are constructive, and we don’t spam, promote, or troll. If that sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, we’d love to connect! |

Hanahauʻoli Professional Development Center |
|
The mission of the Professional Development Center at Hanahau‘oli is to build upon the school’s rich progressive education tradition to support the development of school communities that promote a better future society for today’s children. “As a society becomes more enlightened, it realizes that it is responsible not to transmit and conserve the whole of its existing achievements, but only such as make for a better future society. The school is its chief agency for the accomplishment of this end.”~ John Dewey, 1916, p. 20 |

Oceanit Research Foundation is launching a free computer science resource for teachers, students, and parents. We are releasing V.1 of the new Altino Virtual Online Car, and video training lessons and website today. With so many of us at home, working and helping our keiki to learn, we hope these self-paced video lessons and the hands-on virtual car will be fun and engaging for everyone. Please feel free to share with your network of teachers, students, and parents. This new resource is based on 3 years of delivering professional development to 600 K-12 teachers at 131 public schools to learn computer science using a programmable car called “Altino,” but now we are going virtual and online with the new Altino Virtual Car! And mahalo for everything you're doing to make life better in Hawaiʻi. Let me know if you have any questions. Be well and safe. ~ Ian Kitajima

Born out of the ʻAha Kūkā: Kani Ka Pū Distance Learning Summit, and nurtured by Niu Valley Middle School Jedi music teacher, Zach Morita, this group is working to host virtual PD session, hold office hours, develop focus groups around distance learning topics and share best practices for student engagement across public, private and charter school sectors in Hawaiʻi. #GrowWithUs808 is closely aligned with the Hawaii Distance Learning Forum and the #808educate moment. |
