This session explores the notion of deeper learning and how to design rich learning experiences for all learners. It unpacks researched data on the design of deep, rich, impactful learning within the everyday rhythms of the classroom, as well as providing a workflow to create a shared language of learning that empowers teaching teams to flourish.

Learn about security and privacy-by-design best practices that can help guide your tool choices, and help direct your way through the often confusing world of EdTech privacy and security.

Carlos and Luke will take your identified school based problem and run you through a Design Thinking Cycle to help you create solutions that can effectively be implemented and pitched.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn some basic principles around effective data visualization. They will be able to practice redesigning charts in order to clearly communicate their message.

Through this workshop, we will identify strategies and develop a plan that includes a focus on continuous improvement through reflection. We will also cultivate iterative mindsets for caring and connected communities so that educators and students alike experience a sense of purpose and joy in their everyday learning.

This presentation will empower you to move beyond the readaloud with practical ways to build on kindergarten learners’ understanding of library systems and conventions, including developing an IB PYP library for Early Years learners.
