Unit 5: The Power of Imagination

Welcome to Unit 5 of the Power of Connections. This is the final unit of content in our learning experience, and our focus is on The Power of Imagination. Our goal is to discuss ways that we might re-imagine our institutions through the lens of student engagement.

We have a fun lineup of content, including another great interview clip with Kerry Magruder. We also have:

• Dialogue -- Who's Your Duck?: A Conversation About Facing Out Institutional Challenges -- Who can we talk to when it comes to imagining new teaching and learning practices? How do we work through our fears and challenges if there is no on to talk to?
• Improvisation -- Trading Spaces -- Our improv this week involves designing our favorite (real or imaginary) learning environment.
• Artifact Challenge -- Creating Open and Engaging Artifact Challenges -- In this unit, we want to begin thinking about designing artifact challenges that can help us re-imagine learning.

We also have our second and final Twitter chat this week on Thursday at 10:00 AM CDT. We would love to have you join us if you get a moment. It's sure to be a fantastic conversation. Here's a link to the activity from our last Twitter chat (http://blog.thepowerofconnections.org/search/label/Storify).
See you online.
