In the digital age, it's important to teach students how to use technology as a tool in order to learn and not be left behind. When applied in tandem with design thinking, we can start to teach students how to solve problems in a new and innovative way. Jon Corippo co-founded and developed a series of instructional lesson frames called EduProtocols that are designed to engage students in learning through the 4 C's:   1. Critical thinking 2. Collaboration 3. Communication 4. Creativity   EduProtocols were created to address the need for students to engage in deeper learning using technology as a tool instead of an automation device. Since then, hundreds of classrooms have been converted to Four Cs centered instruction.   Jon is the brains behind the extremely popular Eduprotocols.

What is a makerspace and how can makerspaces change the landscape of education? In this episode of the Fueling Creativity podcast, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood speak with Caroline Haebig, author of The Maker Playbook: A Guide to Creating Inclusive Learning Environments. Caroline sheds light on today's makerspace movement and the benefits of high-impact, inclusive maker learning culture inside schools and school systems.   Listen in to learn how educators from different fields can use a makerspace to foster innovative design thinking and creativity, the importance of integrating design ethics into the prototype design process, and the must-have and nice-to-have materials (both raw and digital) to include in a makerspace. Then, Caroline offers expert advice on finding entry points in your curriculum for maker learning and creating a more inclusive culture in your makerspace.   “Maker learning has a lot of opportunity to help kids develop their metacognition, reflection, and self-assessment skills.”  - Caroline Haebig   Caroline's Tips for Teachers and Parents: Maximize opportunities for kids to share curiosities and ask questions. Provide a scaffolded design process so students know what they're expected to know, do, and engage with during specific parts of the design process. Get kids to think and talk about the choices and decisions they are making.  Resources Mentioned: The Maker Playbook by Caroline Haebig Makedo morphi app Disruptus Mission Feature Feature Tinkercad ScratchJr   Eager to bring more creativity into your home or classroom?  Access a variety of creativity resources and tools & listen to more episodes of The Fueling Creativity Podcast by visiting our website,  www.CreativityandEducation.com.   Subscribe to our monthly newsletter!   Have a question?

Make sure to notice different perspectives and use that. Focus on "I get to" instead of" I have to". Adopt a "pain is mandatory, misery is optional" mindset. Leaders are responsible for "lighting up the room". Clarity is key to staff support and engagement. Is there's a huge honesty issue between teachers and administrators when it comes to evaluations. It's important to advertise that your school is keeping pace with the modern changes and requirements of education. Empathy should be a key outcome for our students so that in the least we are raising good human beings. Be the crazy friend serving doppio espresso instead of Café Americano. Try that new restaurant.
