The International Erickson Conference on "DIDATTICHE.2016. Immaginare, sperimentare, innovare" (Didactics.2016. Imagining, Experimenting. Innovating) will begin tomorrow at the Rimini Palacongressi (Nov. 11-12, 2016).
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale will be present at the event with Francesca Meini (Press Office) and coaches and tutors from the Phyrtual Innovation Gym: Mauro Del Santo, Cecilia Stajano, Valentino Catricalà, Fiammetta Castagnini, Giorgia Di Tommaso, Lavinia Franceschini (ISIA student) and Marzia Lupi (ISIA student).
How can we create a school that can conceive and develop innovative didactic methodologies, new learning environments in which students can develop their full potential and teachers can truly use their skills and passion?
This is the central issue of the international event promoted by the Centro Studi Erickson that will allow each participant to develop a custom-tailored training course from amongst 50 proposals (workshops, question time, laboratories, simulated classrooms and interactive digital experiences). It’s an original and innovative formula through which over 120 speakers will address the fundamental issues of how to re-invent the national education system.
Alfonso Molina, Scientific Director of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, will participate in two events on November 11: the plenary session (9:30-10:00 am) with a presentation on “A New Education for 21st Century Challenges” and the Digital Innovation Question Time (2:00-3:45 pm).
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale will also be present in the Showcase Area and the Digital Arena with a number of labs held by coaches from the Phyrtual Innovation Gym.
The following labs are open to schools:
- The Poetry of 3D Printing
- Telling a Story with Laser Cutters and Stop Motion
- Smart Robot Ozobot
- Art in the Tablet Age
