Manage episode 524513472 series 2994192
In this debrief episode marking the end of season 11 and 2025, hosts Dr. Matthew Warwood and Dr. Cindy Burnett dive into three pivotal topics they explored with recent guests: AI’s impact on student creativity, the reframing of creativity through “innovation-ish” thinking, and the power of game-based learning for creative and critical thinking in education. Reflecting on discussions with experts like Dr. Florin Vinshon, Tessa Forshaw, Richard Cox Braden, Steven Slota, and Trent Hergenrader, they weigh the nuances of treating AI as a tool versus a collaborator, underscore the importance of mindset over process in creative problem-solving, and unpack how playful learning and world-building foster creativity in the classroom.
Throughout the conversation, Dr. Matthew Warwood and Dr. Cindy Burnett connect research, personal insights, and classroom experiences, emphasizing that meaningful connections—central to creativity—cannot be replicated by technology alone. They highlight the evolving role of educators in nurturing creative mindsets, champion playful learning strategies, and advocate for innovative approaches to schooling, including micro schools and systemic “revolutions” in education. The episode wraps with a look forward to the upcoming season and a special research recap, continuing their commitment to fueling creativity in education.
