During this hands-on workshop, participants will explore six to eight recently developed critical creativity strategies designed to help learners develop authentic literacy skills from comprehension to meaning making to problem solving. After a brief introduction (10 min) to the concept of critical creativity – demonstrating understanding through creative expression – participants will choose from a menu of strategies, including tech tool options that bring value added to the learning experiences, and experiment with those strategies on their own (25 min). The remaining time will be used for debriefing, answering questions, and identifying ways to integrate these strategies as formative assessments in any classroom environment. The key outcomes include participants understanding the concept of critical creativity, identifying ways intentional tech integration may increase the depth of knowledge these strategies demonstrate, and applying their impact area content to these strategies.
