THE ART AND SOUL OF EDUCATION

With her irrepressible energy and dynamic presentation style, Cathy Hunt will provide educators with a new perspective on creative technology integration. "A redefinition of creativity is required for the contemporary student in the context of an unpredictable future, a world of fast-paced development and complex problems. But when we look beyond the buzzwords and catch phrases, what does 'being creative' really mean? Have you considered that every moment in teaching is a creative act? Or that to be creative is to be 'fully human'? So, get ready to remix and mash-up, make connections and make a mess, as we consider tra-digital approaches to education. Prepare to learn, laugh and maybe shed a sneaky tear. Let’s talk about learning, art and our hearts.
