iCREATE+-+Design+Thinking



iCREATE is an acronym used by our school to encourage teachers to incorporate 21st century learning skills into their classrooms, which are used to motivate and create thinkers and problem solvers while focusing on more of a design based thinking approach. Examples of this can include collaboration between teachers, incorporating technology into various lessons, and encouraging students to use empathy so students understand the power of their work. Concrete examples are project based learning, flip classroom, and hand held device use with a concentration on differentiated and engaged learning. These examples are geared towards an elementary sector but can surely be modified to fit secondary as well. Below you will find idea lessons, icreate info for teachers, lesson template for teachers to use with their planning, and technology tools to use in the classroom for engaging learners.
