⚠️One of the rarest & most valued currencies in the classroom: Attention.
When students put on a #VR headset, common distractions are muted. Their attention is laser-focused on the problem at hand.
At a recent school visit, a student shared her reaction with me⬇️

Kids today have access to unlimited info at their fingertips. As we re-focus on teaching them to discern patterns & structure—not memorize—our data systems must similarly re-focus on capturing all the ways kids use spatial, tactile & audio snapshots to retain/apply valuable info.

Math teachers need access to rough draft thinking, not just performance data.
Our teacher dashboard focuses on how students utilize & respond to sound, movement & #math visualizations, powering a new world of real-time interventions that valorize *creation* over answer-getting.
