Engage & Inspire: Sandpit Strategies

May 17, 2022 ♦ 7:00pm - 8:30pm ET

Moderators: Darshell Silva, Kevin Bower and Melissa Henning

Session Description: Welcome to the Sandpit! This is the place where students design and prototype solutions to authentic problems. Using the right challenges, teachers can facilitate strategies that nurture creativity and allow students to reflect on their learning. Join us as we discuss strategies for prototyping and purposeful play as students work through the design process. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.

As a result of this session teachers will:

  1. Understand the features of a class sandpit space;

  2. Explore sandpit activities; and

  3. Plan for the use of sandpit practice spaces in the classroom.
