Creating classes and workshops that utilize technology as a new learning environment

Department of Elementary Education Hideki Mori Associate Professor

[Creative Learning Design]
We are conducting research and activities on creating spaces for active and collaborative learning through creative activities (making). Making is a process of shaping your ideas through trial and error. There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to making. When something doesn't work, it's important to find a way to change or correct it yourself. In the process, finding a way to make it work in your own way while utilizing the knowledge you have and the knowledge of your colleagues is how you learn new knowledge. And it's not that any kind of making is good, but the most important thing is to make something that the children themselves are interested in. This is the idea of ​​constructionism that I encountered when I was a researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 25 years ago. Using computers has made it possible to make a variety of things, and the GIGA School Initiative has created an environment in which each child in elementary school can use an information terminal. I myself am learning new things every day as I create new creative activities using technology with teachers, children, and students at school.
