Today I'm thankful for this conversation with @greggbehr and @RyanRydzewski on their wonderful @remakelearning podcast: remakelearning.org/remaking-…
We discuss the question, "How might media makers, researchers, and youth co-design media experiences that matter?"

@reallymdp from @CooneyCenter joins us on this week's episode of the Remaking Tomorrow podcast! Listen wherever you pod, or here: bit.ly/4feGxpL

We recently hosted some co-design sessions with @aerdf w/ tweens who don't love reading. We learned about barriers to reading and design features they would like to see (and avoid) in literacy apps for reluctant readers. bit.ly/3wPiah8
