Promoting Imagination & Creativity in a Media-Saturated World

Our current circumstances have made parents and educators rely on more screen time to educate and entertain young children. But how do we find balance to promote creativity, imagination, and engagement in this screen-dependent world? This workshop will examine current research on the impact of screen time on young children’s development, creativity, and engagement. It will also provide educators with resources to enhance young children’s imaginative capacities via curriculum initiatives seen in the education frameworks of imaginative education.
