Monday+Symposium

__**Monday Symposium**__
During Monday’s symposium, information that was concrete, applicable, and energizing was introduced. David Warlick started the presentation off with some encouraging knowledge of how to approach learning for the future. We should start asking our students to think critically and creatively. As an art teacher, I find it so important for my student to have original, innovative, and creative ideas that set them apart from their peers. David Warlick’s words were also echoed in the first breakout session that followed with “Leveraging Technology.” One point that presented a large leverage and meaning for the arts was that creative jobs are in an increase while other professions are decreasing at a lower rate or not increasing at all. Over and over throughout the presentations today, there was a reoccurring message of how I can increase the creativity and learning in my classroom with technology.
