QA Creativity... a collision of core values, CAS and connectivity
Sparked by one of QAHS's 2015 core values: "We promote opportunities to broaden cultural and creative aspects of the school",
QA Creativity draws on research into the affordances of digital culture to encourage teachers to further explore the missed opportunities of this learning space for CAS.
This wiki seeks to challenge the ongoing conversation of doing things differently to meet IB demands by considering how technologies disrupt what is knowledge and learning. Expect a lot of yellow hat thinking. As a researching Deputy Principal interested in the learning elements of digital culture that make students a captive audience, the emphasis is on the benefits for teacher practice and CAS outcomes.
I have used a 'magical doorway' analogy, C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, to highlight the integrity of age-old approaches to idea creation for the 21st century's own magical doorway, the web.

Digital culture is generally understood as the collection of norms, behaviours, values and meaning making that cultural theorists argue are being developed and altered through interaction with technology (Snyder, 2007).
