Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

The overview of my creation lab is to inspire creative risk taking across K-12 curriculum, supporting educators to build confidence and take risks to facilitate learning in meaningful & creative ways (i.e. live sketchnoting, etc.).

Participant outcomes:
1. Participants will complete and be able to showcase a sketchnote as evidence of learning.
2. Participants will learn how to take creative risks using drawing and illustrating tools (e.g. Adobe Fresco, Google Jamboard, Apple Pro Create, etc. ) to foster & nurture creative cultures with their learners.
3. Participants will build confidence in their ability to take learning risks alongside their learners, which builds relationships and will support fostering creative environments.
4. Participants will gain a variety of strategies and instructional design ideas to implement live sketchnoting across their K-12 curriculum. Strategies will be shared during the live sketchnoting creation lab, as well as as a resource that they can download and takeaway afterwards.
5. Participants will learn ways that they can make learning visual, using text and illustrations to connect learning through experiences.

Outline

This is a creation lab, so learners will spend the majority of the session, creating alongside me.
1. (10mins) Google Slide presentation/share to showcase successful use of the strategies that I will showcase in my session (exemplars, the creativity process, sketchnoting, lesson design, etc.).
2. (70mins) Participants can either use their iPad(Pro)/Tablet to sketchnote alongside me, and then share their sketchnotes in the Google Slide template, or they can sketchnote on Jamboard or direclty on my Google Slide deck, while I'm demoing a live sketchnote. Participants will draw, sketch, illustrate, etc., a topic that they're passionate about. They can also choose to work in pairs or small groups of 3-4, if they choose a Google Workspace App. You will find examples of my creation lab already in the URL I shared previously (bit.ly/eduTGIF) which demonstrates how I talk through my creative process and creative choices LIVE as I sketchnote LIVE in-APP (Fresco). I communicate with my audience asking for their participation - they can unmute to share and/or comment in the chats during the ISTE21 Creation Lab session.
