On October 30, 2018 Future Ready Schools® (FRS) held a webinar that was part of its Leadership Hub, a one-stop-shop of professional learning opportunities for school leaders.
In this webinar, Pam Moran and Ira Socol, two authors of Timeless Learning: How Imagination, Observation, and Zero-based Thinking Change Schools, discussed how developing a culture of invention and innovation creates new pathways to activate creativity, voice, agency, and influence in all young people. Through making, engineering, creating, designing, and producing projects and products that enrich learning experiences, students can impact their classrooms, schools, communities, states, and even the world.
The authors discussed:
- “Timeless learning” and why should educators learn more about the timeless design principles
- How change in schools can create a culture of invention and innovation
- The way they see education evolving to utilize the technologies of immersive environments as accelerators of learning
- Thoughts future of timeless learning and changes still to come
