It's been a true pleasure participating in Genius School Educator program with Karen. She is an expert in Talent Dynamics for young people. The passion she has for her work in education is inspiring. I am truly grateful for the two weeks spent together and for the insights and support she gives so generously. I look forward to following up and learning more.

Dear Karen, I was just able to catch the tail end of your presentation the other day, but what I heard was exciting. I would also like to thank you for the practical advice you gave me on a previous occasion when we first spoke about my situation.

I had the pleasure supporting Karen on the Marketing 5.0 Microschool in January 2022. It was awesome to see them so engaged in the process and taking action from their learnings.

It was fabulous to see her in the final! Well deserved!

Project based learning - Fostering Curiosity, Building Skills and Knowledge, and Preparing for the Future. Incorporating project-based learning into education allows students to take ownership of their learning journey, fostering curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills at each stage of development. By aligning projects with the specific needs and interests of students, educators can inspire a lifelong love of learning and prepare them for a bright future.

Project-Based Learning: Nurturing Curiosity and Creativity Throughout the Years | Eduwebinar

As educators, our mission is to nurture the potential within each student, guiding them on a path of growth and discovery. One powerful way to achieve this is through project-based learning. In this blog post, we’ll explore how project-based learning can be aligned with the different stages of child development, from 0 to 21 years of age.

    The online game Contexto challenges players to identify a word based solely on the circumstances surrounding its use. Semantle served as an inspiration for the Brazilian software developer who created Contexto. https://contextogame.io

As educators, we understand that children are not one-size-fits-all learners. They embark on a journey of growth and development from the moment they are born, and it’s important for us to adapt our teaching methods to meet their evolving needs.

OpenAI has released a guide for teachers using ChatGPT. Check out the resources and shared stories for how teachers use ChatGPT in the classroom. I've used ChatGPT for lesson plans, rubrics & activities for neurodiverse learners. Saves a lot of time and all I need to do is tweak the results to suit my specific needs.
