How can we leverage digital tools to cultivate curiosity, creativity and community and build a culture of innovation within our schools?

Wonderful title Sarah!

I’d want to know what framework would work for multiple disciplines and how I could connect that to my content area. You might focus on Challenge Based Learning CBL for a way to get learners to “Engage, Investigate and Act” and the digital tools that learners can use to support those three phases. It’s such a super inquiry method and can be augmented so nicely with digital tools. What I think is so important about this framework is that it encourages questioning and student voice which are part of engagement and also connects community involvement on the part of students. It can also be a real catalyst for digital creation that students can use across content areas (and grade levels)

There are some example activities in Challenge for Change in the Learning Center. And also if you search CBL in the Community there are some good examples from teachers.

Hi Sarah

We have our Open Day coming up and have somewhat similar parameters. We got some terminology from Apple for use with presentations such as ours. They are Technology Amplifies, Technology Scaffolds, Technology Engages & Technology Connects. This helped with our planning as we tailored different sessions towards these terms. We wanted to make sure that beginners walked away with useful skills and resources that they can use straight away as well as putting something flashy and innovative in there too to show off what can be done.

Happy to go through more specifics with you if you like.

Hi Sarah! This is a really interesting topic. I think if I were to attend a session with this title I would want to walk away with some innovative ideas that I can take back to my school and easily share with my fellow teachers 👩‍🏫. It would also be great to have some resource that I could use as well.

I think 🤔 @cheryl has a great idea with the CBL frameworks.
