Documentation and Storytelling in Learning Communities with Aaron Schorn

Actionable Innovations Global is a professional learning community where participants explore innovation in education. Every Friday, we meet to discuss trends in education and invite inspiring guests to join us and share their work. Parents, educators, students, and others interested in improving teaching and learning are always welcome.

Join us on Friday, February 3rd, for an Actionable Innovations Conversation with Aaron Schorn of Unrulr. Aaron will speak to the power of having learners capture their process, reflections, and product creation. How through evidence, programs can build transparency/trust and create greater impact. Aaron will showcase the social learning app Unrulr and speak about other tools and tactics that allow learners to document/share and tell the story of their process, skills growth, and outcomes. This is a conversation about empowering learners of all age groups to go from passive to active in their learning journey.
