AI can certainly make education easier, but technology will never replace great teachers! Loved this session and the fact the presenter understood the importance of great teachers to the future of education.

Finally got the chance to learn more about CanvaMagic with Jamie Saylor. What great tools! I even created a brand kit for my school. Thanks to RENAISSANCE Grant for another great learning opportunity with an awesome presenter!

Music in motion! Maria Finkelmeier.eth did a great job presenting some inspiring ways to mix music and motion during another great RENAISSANCE Grant training!

Interesting RENAISSANCE Grant session on Native American Art. I’m looking forward to sharing these with my students in the fall during our Daniel Boone Festival.

I always feel I appreciate art much more after attending a RENAISSANCE Grant learning session with Jasmine Cloud! In the fall, she inspired me to look at art with my students and they loved it! So applicable to SEL lessons!

Who’s your toad? What a great statement in a RENAISSANCE Grant session with Michael King discussing SAMHSA resources. This is a graphic kids will remember!

Self-care was all the rage during COVID, but is needed now more than ever. Tara B Hall did a great job covering this in her presentation for RENAISSANCE Grant

Neurographic art is a great way to self-regulate and kids really enjoy this creative process. Learning more about this in a RENAISSANCE Grant session with Dr. Cathy Malchiodi.

A great Renaissance session with UN/TRAIN on developing leadership and discovering your passion. Yout passion brings with it motivation so you if you are not feeling motivated, maybe it’s time to reexamine the passion. @kedcARTS @kedcgrants

Today I discovered a website called the Drama Notebook with all sorts of drama activities that could be modified for great SEL lessons thanks to the presenters from the Looking for Lilith Theatre Company. Another great session with the Renaissance grant!

So excited to attend the Elevation Summit this week as part of the Renaissance Art Grant! With so many great sessions, it’s really hard to choose! #KEDCgrants

Learning more about resume building with Chrissy Cash at the Elevation Summit. Lots of great information presented and a great discussion with other participants! #KEDCgrants

Learning to create stop motion video with Kelly Fischer at the Elevation Summit. There are so many ways to use this technology to improve instruction! #KEDCgrants

A reoccurring theme of @KEDCgrants Elevation Summit is that students should be creators, not consumers, especially when technology is involved. This is a great guiding principle when designing instruction. #KEDCgrants
