Kindness comes in many different forms, including patience, forgiveness, and through simple acts that lead to positive connections.<\/p>\nChristine McKee, Emerging Technology Consultant, Edmonton Catholic Schools, Alberta, Canada<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This year, teachers, students, and parents have done an incredible job adapting to remote and hybrid learning<\/strong><\/a>. They\u2019ve brought positivity to every interaction, made online learning engaging, found ways to stay connected, and shared acts of kindness throughout rapidly changing situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World Kindness Day is November 13, and it\u2019s the perfect time to reflect on and appreciate the positive power of kindness\u2014and recognize the heroes who model it all year round!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of our celebration, we are highlighting tips and lessons from teachers, educators, and parents, including you, on what you\u2019ve learned about kindness during remote and hybrid learning. To make this easy and engaging, we\u2019re using Flipgrid to record and display your responses. You can visit the World Kindness Day Flipgrid<\/strong><\/a> topic to see them all and add your own! There are already some great messages posted, and we\u2019ve put some of our favorites so far on a one-minute Kindness Sizzle Reel<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
