Tiny Ways to Rejuvenate Your Learning & Teaching
ThinqStudio’s Spring Hybrid Unconference — April 15, on campus & online
As we come out of the pandemic that upended our classrooms and lives, we often feel exhausted from serving the needs of our students and communities. ThinqStudio suggests that, instead of grand schemes and “positive disruptions,” we consider how to rejuvenate our practices with “tiny innovations,” to refresh them—and ourselves!
ThinqStudio invites you to join us in exploring and sharing little things that can be impactful in small but valuable, and often fun, ways. Two years after the pandemic’s big, sudden rupture and the move to remote teaching, we now sit in this strange, in-between, pandemic/not pandemic environment. Both our energy and bandwidth for major undertakings are stretched thin. We offer this moment to the entire CU Denver community to focus on some little moves as a pleasant respite. Come join us to rejuvenate with Tiny Innovations!
This will be a hybrid event. We will be hosting (with food) in the City Heights building on campus as well as a virtual option for those unable to attend in person.
