Description
We live in an exponential world. The rate of change and innovation is rapidly increasing each year, and consequently the task of preparing our students for the future becomes both challenging and exciting. A paradigm shift has occurred in business and innovation so that the old rules of institutions and business models no longer apply. GT Innovators explore this rapid pace of change and its implications for business and education.
In this 6-hour course, you will learn how you can “future proof” your students using strategies tailored for this era of exponential change. Topics explored include:
- Activities for stimulating greater creativity in the classroom
- How the “now” influences speculation about the future
- Paradigm shift in teaching
- What motivates students today

If it weren’t for the fact that it’s based on Bloom’s Taxonomy, which is exactly upside down, it’d be great. As it is, nearly everything in here gave me great ideas on what to avoid in my classroom.

I thought this course was great. It would be nice to have more time allocated to such courses, but we all know its more important to spend our time performing meaningless tasks that keep an administrators job relevant.

I loved the ideas put forth about thinking of the future and how you will plan for what doesn’t exist yet. It’s a crazy thought…how do you plan and teach for a future that doesn’t exist or we don’t know will be created? This course has some good ideas.

This course enables you to develop that investigative tolerance for the students. Students can branch out and improve existing ideas into creative new ways. Originality is not always the case unless faced with an academic investigative situation.
