Innovation's Renewing Potential: Seeing and Acting Mindfully within the Fecundity of Educative Experience
Macintyre Latta, Margaret; Crichton, Susan
Education and Culture, v31 n2 Article 4 p27-38 2015
An Innovative Learning Centre (ILC) within a Faculty of Education provides the forum to study and give lived expression to the rhythmic workings of experience through documenting a Maker Movement Day for practicing educators. The authors conceptualize a Maker Day as an immersive professional development experience for educators. They believe that design thinking aligns nicely with the Maker Movement by helping makers consider what they would like to create, alongside why, and how to proceed. They suggest the goal of a Maker Day should be to encourage participants to experience making, and ongoing adaptation and reflection, through design thinking and associated activities, fostering a shared agenda requiring active participation that takes shape through process.
