Welcome Activity:  This
welcome activity will give you an opportunity to meet and connect with
the people in your team. Think of it as "speed dating" for geeky
educators! It is also meant to help you kick start your innovative
thinking for the day - with a clear focus on learning. So stretch your
mind and exercise your creativity. :)
Follow the instructions below to complete the activity... and make an innovation connection!
- Listen carefully to the instructions. This should take two minutes or less.
- Think of the best example of innovation in education that you can. For this exercise, the innovation should not
involve computers, gadgets, or anything "techie." The example doesn't
need to be something you've done yourself. Perhaps it's something one
of your teachers did when you were a student or something you've seen
one of your colleagues (or heroes) do. Think fast, and prepare to
share. You have about two minutes.
- Pair up with one of your teammates, introduce yourself, and then share your example. When
one partner is sharing, the other can ask a question, but shouldn't
"take over" the conversation. You will have one minute each to share
your example and any story behind it (for a total of two minutes
together).
- Rotate until you have shared with every other person on your team. Or until we rin out of time...
- Come together as a team to decide who shared the best example of innovation in education. You have 1 minute.
- A representative from your team will share the best example with the large group. Each group representative will have 1 minute to share.
