Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We remember the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, along with their families & communities. The pain of these experiences continue to this day. The process of reconciliation will and must continue beyond this one day. It's all of our responsibility to listen, to learn and to reflect on how we can help advance truth, justice and reconciliation. We encourage all to take time today to reflect on the past and how we as a country can learn, understand and take action. #NDTR #EveryChildMatters

IDRC is hosting a design crit tomorrow, 2-3 PM ET! PhET Interactive Simulations, the facilitator of the design crit, is designing the Number Pairs simulation. Aimed at early math learners aged 4-7, the simulation is focused on decomposing a number into two addends and putting two addends together to create a total for number 0-20. It is in early development with relatively solid visual layouts with pointer/touch based input ideas about interactions that support learning goals. Explore the challenge of making accessible movable objects that also have the ability to change colour on demand!
