Taken from our popular Master Class Less (Teaching) Is More (Learning), this session is a perfect and highly practical compliment to Alan & Sara’s #1st5Days session. Participants will explore a range of concrete, skill and culture-building activities designed to seed (start), scaffold, connect and grow student-owned learning environments and build learner capacity for developing information and web literacy skills, constructing quality searches, making thinking visible, collaborative problem-solving, and more!
