Q.6 Super important...with everything that's happening marking learning playful, fun and social seems like an effective way of engaging students #LTHEchat
Q5. Time to build up confidence and reinforcing purpose and value of creative activities #LTHEchat
A3 More zines. Seems more important than ever to time to go analogue and craft something. Also enjoying using padlet to bring in different voices, perspectives and examples #LTHE
A2 walking - using walks to encourage learners to spend time away from a screen and responding to the world around them #LTHEchat
A1. using lego to get students building and storying as a way of discussing readings on urban division; zines as an assessment to encourage students to craft accounts of fieldwork and think about ethics of knowledge making and sharing #LTHEchat
