Description
Creative problem solving can be used within core subjects to help students develop the 4Cs of 21st century skills: communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. An important part of this process is having students communicate their results. In this session, see how students can use free technology tools like Prezi, Scratch, Xtra Normal, and GoAnimate as creative alternatives to reports and class PowerPoint presentations. The use of presentation tools can inspire creativity, invite collaboration, and allow students in the "digital generation" to work within their preferred learning and communication styles.
