Explore and create: Exploratory Creation lab 
Preregistration Required
This objective of this session is to give educators classroom examples and a framework for creation in the classroom. We will look at how to creation can be done in powerful and meaningful ways that impact student learning.
This session will use a variety of classroom examples with hands-on interactive learning to help teachers see, experience and take part in an overview of how we can use creation to foster deep and effective teaching and learning in the classroom to go beyond the consumption model of note-taking and slide presentations.
This session will be hands-on and build on each activity for a complete final product that can be transferred into an actual lesson in the classroom.
Intro- Student examples to inspire our time together
Activity one: attendees learn to create a graphical representation of learning.
Activity two: attendees take that graphic and explain their thinking and the process behind it by taking it into a video program and "pressing record"
Activity three: attendees build a page where they house their creations looking at how to effectively set that up as a showcase of student growth.
