To Minneapolis and Back!

Wow, what a reception! Thank you for interest in my Exploratorium Presentation --- "It's In The Bag".

It’s in the Bag! is a “novel” way to successfully engage students in research and learning. A variety of dollar store and thrifty finds are used to develop activities around a novel packaged in a themed bag for student access. Mindful imagination + reinvention guides the development of the activities to create a “novel” way for students to construct knowledge and understanding. This Exploratorium will give participants an opportunity to examine the bags. Leave with renewed enthusiasm and armed with specific ideas and strategies that can be readily adapted to suit literacy and program requirements.


Your enthusiasm for my ideas and kind comments were much appreciated. I will update this blog shortly.
