FABLEARN 2016: 6th Annual Conference on Creativity and Making in Education
published article at fablearn 2016, palo alto
Role: Speaker | Project: FabLearn 2016 (Stanford University)
Team: Ricardo Dutra and Sonali Ojha
The conference starts with an intensive training for K-12 teachers on how to create maker activities for their classroom.
At FabLearn 2016 (a conference hosted by the Graduate School of Education, at Stanford), I presented and published an article entitled "Designing Learning Environments for Social Dreaming: from Inquiry to Insight, and Action". This was a study pursued during my Masters Degree at Parsons School of Design. It experiments with the role of design in the context of education, particularly in regards to creating learning environments that foster the student's sense of agency, self-reliance and possibility. Full presentation can be seen here.
“Better learning will not come from finding better ways for the teacher to instruct, but from giving the learner better opportunities to construct”
“How might we create a culture where being quiet, observant, thoughtful, and contemplative strikes a balance with being a doer, entrepreneur, mover and shaker?”
