I chose Piktochart as the infographic to summarize the main ideas that I took out of "The Innovator's Mindset" by George Couros. My thought process was to think about my own classroom and what concepts I can utilize to advance the learning environment for my students. The infographic shows the the ideals I feel will create an innovator's mindset within the classroom. I utilized images from Pixabay and other resources to enhance the reinforce the message I am presenting. The process that I used to create my infographic started with the idea of creating a student-centered classroom. I included the 4 main ideals that I wanted to have in my classroom to create and promote students being the center of their own learning environment; culture, risk-taking, building relationships, and creating an innovator's mindset. This was a very difficult challenge for my to synthesize all of the knowledge I have gained, through reading the book. I want to always come back to two questions.
1. Would I want to be a learner in my classroom? 2. What is best for the students? I feel as if I keep these two questions in mind, I have created a path to plan, organize, and execute opportunities for students to be successful in my classroom. Lastly, I included some quotes from the book that resonated with me personally. There were so many great quotes throughout the book that inspired my blog and other projects. But it always came back to the the students and realizing for them to be their best, I also need to do my best to continue in developing my own growth/innovator's mindset!
