I’m a former middle school teacher and current college professor on a journey to ignite creativity in every classroom. Because let's face it, our students are filled with creative potential. They just need the spark from a teacher.
On this channel, you'll find:
1. Sketchnote videos that make complex ideas clear and engaging
2. Actionable maker prompts to get your students building and problem-solving
3. Writing prompts that spark imagination and get students excited about writing
4. Research-backed tutorials for creative teaching (think free professional development)
In a world dominated by AI and automation, our students will need to be creative thinkers and problem-solvers. We can prepare them for the future by empowering them right now.
