Session 1: Design Thinking (Part 1)
Design thinking is a human-centered approach to addressing challenges. It is a framework that involves defining problems, developing empathy for others, designing prototypes of potential solutions, and creating multiple iterations of those prototypes to generate a viable solution for the challenge being addressed. This is a hands-on workshop in which participants will address a design challenge.

This is a 3 hour session. Participants to this session are required to commit to the entire session.

Session 2: Personalizing Learning with Technology (Part 1)

This is a two hour session. Please commit to the entire session duration.

One of the the most powerful drivers of technology adoption is the ability empower learners to develop lifelong learning skills and pursue their interests for learning. How do we achieve this within a well-defined framework created by schools. What does learning look like in schools who promote personalization of learning? What are your drivers of technology adoption in your school or classroom and are they a fit for personalization?

Learning Outcomes:
  • Understand and apply a working definition of personalized learning
  • Apply a variety of criteria and concepts of including Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to analyze the ability of technology tools to meet the needs of our diverse learners 
  • Identify areas of need in our own teaching and learning and reflect on how our favorite technologies do or do not foster PL.
