I've been facilitating this workshop w/ learners, educators, non-profits, etc for years. Re-aligned to my 5E design phases and figured I'd share. How might we bring authentic joy using four paper clips and a pair of index cards? #designthinking #edusky #k12edu docs.google.com/presentation...

Is anyone else noticing that students are increasingly unable to anticipate, draw conclusions, or make inferences? Instead of reciting facts and definitions, how can we help students apply knowledge beyond the classroom? youtu.be/pR_fuWK9R-o?... #education #assessment #storytelling
