Strengthen engagement through co-creation
Beyond the classroom, you can involve early learners in your educational journey as co-creators. We can leverage their unique perspectives as students and involve them in the design of learning activities, games, and even assignments.
Although this approach has not been widely explored outside of higher education, I have found that it can empower students to be effective co-creators.
I have personally coached and taught basic education concepts, human behavior lessons, and game design ideas to both college and middle school students. They learn empathy and learn to collaborate better with their peers and teachers as they identify and problem-solve the various learning difficulties that their peers encounter. Again, these are meaningful opportunities that would not have been available to their growth if we had focused on them. The sole purpose is to accelerate your academic journey.
Through these co-creative collaborations, my students have created exciting learning games and activities, many of which I currently use in my own classes. These students feel a great sense of accomplishment knowing that they contributed in an important way.
These co-creative interactions have not only enriched my students, but have deeply influenced my development and shaped me as an educator.
I learned that what was meaningful to me didn’t necessarily mean something to them. What they share bridges my world with theirs, allowing me to empathize with them more deeply and engage with them in ways that they truly find meaningful. to their learning experience.
This recognizes the immense potential of students and the transformative impact that keeping them engaged by leveraging their talents and insights in meaningful ways, regardless of their age, background, or ability. is emphasized.
