This year the facilitators have introduced teachers to the Tract App.
Tract is a platform where learners can follow their passions and interests, learn more then create and share their understandings and knowledge.
The vision is to empower "learners to think critically and independently and to solve the world's problems" by providing "On-demand, project-based classes and clubs designed to spark creativity and empower learners to develop the critical thinking skills they need to succeed as successful young adults."
We have some school locally using Tract with students highly engaged in creating and sharing their interests.
Gisborne Intermediate won a global challenge for October and recently were awarded a pizza party to celebrate this achievement. What a fabulous way to start our local use of Tract.
You can read more about tract on their newsletter here.
