After spending two full days in the Creating Significant Learning Environment (CSLE) workshop with some highly motivated faculty from School of Business at BCIT I am convinced that the future is very bright for BCIT students. Our primary focus was creating significant learning environments that would take advantage of technology to enhance learning. We explored using technology to enhance the face2face, flipped, hybrid or blended and fully online settings. All the technology related activities were grounded with well defined learning outcomes and we continually looked at the balance in aligning the outcomes with effective technology enhanced activities and assessments which confirmed the learning outcomes would be achieved.
The following are all the Youtube clips and related links used in the workshop as well as several of my favourites that we unable to view due to the lack of time.

This just one of many TED talks that I recommend. If you go to TED.com and filter by “Most viewed” you will see Ken Robinson’s talks as well as Simon Sinek’s talk about Why and many more amazing talks.
My blog post The Power of Media in informal learning offers the insights that I have found in using media to help my two sons in their pursuit of becoming professional downhill racers.
