Edunauts: How to thrive tomorrow

A very special gathering of Future-We community pay tribute to the life of Edunaut, Leanne Hanson. Joining Jonathan Nalder is Rhys Cassidy, Monica Cardozo, Ramona Meharg, Lisa Corbett and Stephen Hurley.

Edunaut Leanne Hanson is joined by Lisa Corbett, Derek Rhodenizer and Stephen Hurley to explore the meaning of stories in our lives. What is a story? What makes a story...well...a story and what is the difference between a story and a narrative?

Leanne Hanson is joined by Ramona Meharg and Lisa Corbett to talk about the enduring nature of poetry and ways to update it for the 21st century classroom

Edunauts Leanne, Stephen and Jonathan were joined by ex-principal now leadership and futures expert Nick, who shared how elements from the FutureWe framework like a futures-perspective and believing we have agency to change the future can make all the difference for learners

Today on Edunauts the team recapped Empathy and why it's being recognized as so key for education - but also made time to chat with teacher Kustave Heino about the free "Empatico" program. Kustave has taught in 5 countries, and was able to explain how the bit.ly/spark-empathy program energizes students and shows them how much we all have in common.

Edunauts Leanne, Liz and Jonathan chatted the current Mindhive.org discussion challenge, what terms best help us talk about the future skills and literacies we know education needs to get better at addressing, and how balance and diversity will be key.

Was a great privilege to have FutureWe advisor and long-time proponent of thinking skills and positivity in Education join us for the 4th Edunauts show of 2019. He shared some key predictions and ways of thinking about the future that everyone in this field needs to hear. You can also find his book 'The Next Generation' and more here:
