Join Jamie McKenzie for an exciting morning devoted to the challenge of engaging students in synthesis, invention, imagination and novelty.

New standards from the American School Librarians and ISTE both call for students to do more than gather information when they research. They set the expectation that students develop good new ideas, not just scoop and smush, copy and paste. This session will provide participants with a toolkit of synthesis skills required to invent good new ideas along with strategies to equip their students with the creative capacity to meet the standards.
