An $8 million gift from Richard Shipley (Questrom’68,’72), a BU trustee emeritus, will help expand the University’s digital learning plans by creating the Richard C. Shipley Center for Digital Learning & Innovation.
Keynote Address: “A Sharing of Gifts” with Dr. Miki Tomita of Education Incubator and
Anis Hamidati of the Mālama Honua Voyage.
ALOHA is a key that can help unlock even the most difficult of doors and portals, both inside ourselves and out in the world. Dr. Tomita asks us all to consider what gifts might we harvest from inside ourselves, from our cultures, communities, and lived experiences, to benefit those we research and study.

Teacher Training Initiative Takes Shape Under COVID-19 Federal Grant - Honolulu Civil Beat
The initiative to develop digital lesson plans is being funded with $5 million in federal relief funds. Reading time: 5 minutes.
Hawaii community groups plan to convene dozens of local educators this summer to help build an open-source digital collection of lesson plans and teaching materials that will be free and accessible to students, teachers and parents by 2022.
Funded with half of the $10 million of a federal grant the state received last April to address pandemic-related learning loss, the effort addresses the need to develop more place-based, culturally relevant content for use in the classroom and home.
