Unique in its focus of in-school examples of connected learning, this ebook does not focus on the idea of \u201cbest practices\u201d but instead acknowledges the emerging nature of this work and invites inquiry and exploration into the ways that teachers are working and why. Connected Learning itself -- a set of design and teaching principles that have emerged by watching how youth learn in digitally rich and networked environments where they are supported in pursuing their passions and interests -- arguably also provides a pathway for increased teacher-as-learner agency in teaching. In this conversation then, five urban educators whose work is highlighted in this collection (including three from Philadelphia!), invite you into a conversation about Connected Learning through the lens of our own passions and practices and consider the possibilities and potentials of this work and framework.","Link":["http:\/\/digitalis.nwp.org\/"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"This session will be organized to be highly participatory.
