Elusive Learning Adventures in openness, edtech and environmental conservation

Building ideas for student collaboration, together!

Creativity in science teaching

Yesterday I facilitated a workshop at the SEB ‘Creativity in Science Teaching’ 2016 conference in London. My teaching and learning colleagues worked in teams to generate ideas for student collaboration, in answer to the question “What challenge or goal would each of you like students to tackle collaboratively?”.

The six teams came up with some fantastically innovative and diverse ideas for collaborative learning activities in the (very!) short time I gave them. I can see plenty of scope for adapting their ideas to other disciplines and learning objectives, and I hope you are inspired by them too!

I’ll shortly be posting the teams’ ideas, plus the structure of the workshop itself, as Open Educational Resources (OER) on the #101CreativeIdeas blog created by Eleanor Hannan and Chrissi Nerantzi. Feel free to comment below or tweet in response, using the hashtags #SEBCST16 and #101creativeideas.
