Ideate, evaluate and share - An Innovation Process Model for Educators

The Innokas Network encourages schools to develop innovative approaches for teaching their students 21st century skills, by arranging training, providing consultation and hosting events in different parts of Finland. At the FabLearn conference, we would like to introduce our innovation process, which is a semi-structured maker-activity model, designed for use in cross-disciplinary maker-projects geared towards classrooms with a wide range of ages and ability levels. We will describe how teachers were trained to use the model and provide a few examples of how the innovation process was used to increase environmental and communal responsibility in the classroom.
