“The ability to reflect is crucial for understanding and processing,” George Couros reminds us as he and Katie Novak take us through the eighth of eight characteristics of the Innovator’s Mindset: reflection. “It is also essential to our ability to move forward and create something from what we have learned. … Reflection time is something that should be seen as vital to learning…” The entire experience of participating in the Innovate Inside the Box Instagram Book Study group here on Instagram has been exactly that: a combination of moving forward in my learning about Instagram as a tool for training-teaching-learning; reading (and rereading) and reflecting on each chapter within Innovate Inside the Box: Empowering Learners Through UDL [Universal Design for Learning] and the Innovator’s Mindset); creating something that builds upon what I have already learned; and learning more by sharing it on Instagram, seeing how my co-conspirators in learning respond to it, and responding to the results of their own moving/creating/innovating/learning process. And because we are part of a community of learning, we have the chance to celebrate each step we take in moving toward improving what we do in service to the learners who rely on us for support, inspiration, and collaboration. #IITBCH12 #InnovateInsideTheBox #socialmedia #edtech #innovation #learning #reflection @gcouros @katienovakudl https://www.instagram.com/p/B8aVOy6FdRv/?igshid=jzlywh5c12j6
