CET webinar team says, “What is creativity and how do you incorporate it into daily lesson plans? How can you also include mobile technology in the creative process so both you and your students are developing together?
Our students and the world around us are a constant source of inspiration for lesson ideas. However, finding time to reflect and document such creative ideas takes time, especially when teaching back-to-back lessons on a daily basis. In this session, Joanna will share insight into her process of ideas generation and the role of her sketchbooks, how she aligns creativity with teaching and learning objectives and how mobile technologies are subsequently deployed to ensure students are responsible for both creating and critically evaluating their own content.
