Carlo, who holds a master’s in art education, walks through the core principles of place‐based learning and how his own experience as the child of immigrants shaped his understanding of belonging, land and community.\n\nTogether, they unpack the idea of the classroom as a “third teacher,” explore two field trips along the Fraser River that brought students face to face with the history of colonization in the Fraser Valley and Steveston, and discuss how intentional, low‐key use of technology, like an iPad used purely for documentation, can help students slow down, observe and reflect rather than simply consume.\n\nThis conversation is for educators who want to help students build a genuine relationship with the places they live and learn, and who are curious about how field trips and classroom design can do more than decorate a lesson.\n\nAbout Carlo Sayo\nCarlo Sayo is an EdTech and Creative Coach at Classmate, where he partners with teachers to design meaningful learning experiences that connect curriculum, creativity, technology, and student voice. Drawing on a background in design, community programming, and creative technology education, he collaborates with educators to turn ambitious ideas into authentic projects and experiences that engage learners through experimentation and creative problem-solving. \n\nHe believes meaningful learning can happen anywhere, especially when people feel connected through a shared purpose. Whether through community arts initiatives, youth programs, or classroom learning, Carlo is drawn to experiences that invite people to become creators and contributors to something larger than themselves. Carlo is particularly interested in storytelling, migration narratives, place-based education, and the ways creative production can make learning more...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/TPvf0RaL7cU2BkGfXxV7sfEevEpXsS5-4276iv0U_BU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iYjll/YzBhZjczMjcyMjFh/ZGI5NjI4YzIxOTNj/Y2I3NS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
