Undoubtedly, as a teacher you have tried to explain how the concepts you are teaching in the classroom will help to carry your students forward as they enter the "real world." The Competencies without a Classroom podcast provides classroom teachers with access to brilliant minds and hearts in the "real world" bringing alive the skills and competencies required to be successful in the 21st century.

I really enjoy SpacesEDU. I like a real time look at what is happening at school because it helps to engage with my child about their day. Not all parents have time to stay updated with their kids' learning day to day and Spaces makes this possible.
SpacesEDU Family Member
This year, I was lucky enough to have two teachers of my children who used SpacesEDU. It was very easy [for my children] to join the class using the QR code and since then I have been able to follow the progress of my children in their class, working on projects, listening to it and seeing it in action through videos and photos. My children can even add elements/work they are proud of so that teachers can keep this evidence of learning and I can see the beautiful things my children are doing. SpacesEDU helps open the classroom doors so that parents are aware and can bring some of these school experiences back to the family by reflecting on their projects or the way they enjoyed the show at school. I feel that I have a better understanding and a stake in my children’s learning.

It is a safe space for sharing, discussing, and peer and self-critiquing

It brings the class together in one space without limitations. Everyone gets same information at the same time, distance isn't a barrier.

It's a great platform! It allows me to diversify my students' learning opportunities and involve parents more by making communication easier.

It's an easy-to-use application and parents are very happy to be able to see how their child's days are going and their progress
