How could you start conceptualizing an educational escape room? Dr. Maddie Shellgren and I turned it into a game to demo how we approach the challenge – based on three random prompts: community organization, trainers, & compliance youtu.be/x1Kas9J9oq4

Educational escape rooms? When designed as a form of experiential learning, you can advance highly specialized knowledge and competencies, set the foundation for collaboration and innovation, or help attendees network. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dboy...

We spent 45 minutes in silence on Zoom…and had a great meeting! Here’s the idea: create the core content for a resource in a single meeting, using a visual collaboration space. πŸŽ₯ www.youtube.com/watch?v=QodV...

A stack of pages.  The first one shows a diagram showing the flow of key areas for training design: Opportunities, Participants, and Setting and Logistics are grouped at the top. These three areas flow into Outcomes. Outcomes flows into another group of concepts consisting of Content, Method, and Agenda.  These collectively flow into Delivery which flows into Evaluation & Follow-on Steps. Behind this page, the colorful edgest of 10 additional pages fan out behind it.

What should K-12 educators and leaders focus on to innovate in 2025?

CoSN’s global advisory board of 130+ change leaders have a few ideas (okay, more than a few!): www.cosn.org/driving-k-12...
