Inspiring Imagination and Innovation Creativity

to collaboration. Technology, social networking, and InfoWhelm have broken down long-standing barriers of communication in our society and turned the economy global. Our suburbs are no longer just outside our back door—they’re all over the planet, and education and business are looking ahead to the strong partnerships and team environments that will define their future, and connect them to the modern world. The successful ability to work and interact with partners both real and virtual is the essence of the presentation Global Connections and Interdependent Collaboration.

HyperInformation and Information Investigation

Our society has been profoundly affected by InfoWhelm and HyperInformation—the unparalleled access to a wealth of online information, never before seen or heard of. Learning has truly become a lifelong pursuit, that can happen anytime, anywhere in our Information Age. But how do we determine the good from the bad, interpret right from wrong, and distinguish complete, accurate, and usable data from a sea of irrelevance and digital inundation? The skills to help us best understand and make use of the wealth of knowledge at our fingertips is essential to life and success both in the classrooms and workforces of the modern world. This presentation examines the skills that help us extract essential knowledge, verify its authenticity, and perceive its meaning and significance. Participants will how to discover and collect data and to explore it thoroughly, using the 5A’s—Ask, Acquire, Analyze, Apply, and Assess.

Real-World Problems and Independent Problem Solving

The new digital age is here, heralding a future coming at us like a locomotive, ever-changing, and always challenging. The children of today are the builders of tomorrow—they both need and deserve a skill set that stresses critical thinking and develops a mindset of discovering innovative solutions to complex problems that haven’t even been witnessed yet. In this workshop, we take a careful look at one of the vital modern learning skills that focuses on a creative thought process designed to foster problem-solving skills and a real-time application of the comprehensive 6D’s thinking model—Define, Discover, Dream, Design, Deliver, and Debrief. You’ll see how today’s “just-in-time” learners can employ CDM (Convergent, Divergent, Metacognitive) thinking abilities to discover and create the best and most effective solutions and apply them to the challenges of modern times.
