Discover how simple drawings can be leveraged beyond capturing information and staying focused during lectures. We'll demonstrate how sketching and visual thinking is used by students to create and refine mental models, make thinking visible and problem solve. You'll leave with simple techniques and examples to employ tomorrow that enhance learning.
In this workshop, educators will take a step back from a focus on the final product and support students with the creative process. We ask students to design everyday. Posters, videos, graphics, and audio. We seldom help them with the design process. We simply hand them a rubric, and device and a due date and hope for the best. My goal is to support teachers in helping students take the ideas in their head, capture them on a surface (paper, tablet, dry erase board), and organize them in a way that leads to better solutions, stories, and outcomes.
