Blended ContentI. Introduction and background information to support the creation and implementation of “Innovation and Exploration-Focused Learning Spaces” – helping participants re-focus, to include, but greatly expand from the prevalent and more limited concept of “making” and constructing.
5 minutes
II. Creating a clear vision and establishing goals and objectives, to create effective technology-rich, student-centered learning environments where “inventing”, analyzing, evaluating, and independent inquiry and innovation will thrive.
10 minutes
III. Criteria and recommendations for what to include in “Innovation and Exploration Spaces”, how to best schedule these spaces, and consideration of where best to locate these spaces within a school, to enable educators to reach their instructional and student learning goals and objectives. Discussion will include considerations for how these spaces might be used for after school programs, scheduling when schools employ a hybrid learning model, and how and if, these spaces can be scheduled or used by those learning in remote, virtual, or “home school” learning models. Participants will also actively engage during this time with selected, recommended tools and devices, experiencing a variety of levels of complexity, in which students could engage.
20 minutes
IV. Engaging diverse learners and assuring equitable and accessible opportunities for ALL diverse learners. Successful school implementations will be shared, including implementations from diverse socio-economic locations and urban, rural, and/or suburban areas.
15 minutes
V. Questions and Answers and Wrap Up
10 minutes
Participants will be actively engaged with the presenter with interactive dialogue on key topics and concerns, and participants will be encouraged to engage actively with selected, recommended devices and tools, during the third segment of the session, as described in the outline. Participants will also have time to ask questions and interact with the presenter and other attendees during the Q and A.
