How might educators open their pedagogy, toolkits, and perspectives toward disruptive and transformative professional learning? This question will motivate Remi’s remarks about how the blended boundaries of 21st century learning make possible open education. Specifically, Remi will address divergent and promising interpretations of open education by discussing: a) educator practice of critical digital pedagogy; b) methods of collaborative inquiry as afforded by emerging technology platforms and social practices; and c) possibilities for a more equitable and transformative social contract for schooling, teaching, and learning.

When "Computer Coding" and "App Development" entered the common lexicon, educators tended to react with either fear or enthusiasm. Now that we are *here*-- immersed in the renewed curriculum, and with an understanding of incorporating Coding into it...authentically... with concerns swirling around regarding screen time and automatons vs critical thinkers, how can coding be included and alleviate the angst? Join me for a fun-filled and active hour of coding-- with no screens, no devices, barely even any electricity. Activities and resources you can use in your classroom tomorrow-- that teach coding from the perspective of Challenge Based learning and problem solving. Suitable for all grades k-12, and staff professional development.

This hands-on and fast-paced workshop will introduce participants to the design thinking process, and will also guide participants through a series of iterative challenges that question and explore the blended boundaries of 21st century learning. Remi will begin by showcasing a design thinking toolkit developed by the Institute for Innovation in Education. This toolkit, comprised of playing cards, will help participants experience an approach to design thinking that includes discovering a blended learning challenge, framing their problem, imagining potential processes and solutions, creating through prototyping, expanding through perspective-taking, and receiving feedback from others. Participants should bring a pencil or pen, a notebook with blank paper, and a disposition toward creativity and collaboration. Digital technology is welcome but not required.
