Innovative Strategies to Cultivate Creativity and Literacy 
Educators consistently explore new pathways to engage students when teaching. Throughout the last 15 months, innovation has undergone continued transformation as technology continues to become more accessible to teachers and learners.  Within this session, let’s examine methods that we can use to enhance both student creativity as well as their literacy skills as we put students in positions to collaborate, innovate, and personalize their experience as young learners.  From creating graphic novels, to leveraging music, to creating animations and documentaries we will discuss how everyone can create while still cultivating literacy skills.
