2024 Indiana Connected Educators Conference

Join us for the session, "Canva and the Gilmore Girls: Enhancing Informal Leadership through Technology," where we blend the captivating world of Stars Hollow with actionable leadership strategies for educational environments. Here’s what attendees will learn and do:
Explore Leadership Styles: Through quick video clips of the "Gilmore Girls", we'll examine how different characters reflect the varied personalities and leadership styles found in schools.
Interactive Analysis: Engage in discussions and brainstorming sessions on how these characters, like Sookie with her culinary skills but organizational challenges, display leadership qualities and areas for growth.
Hands-On Canva Training: Learn to use Canva to create effective organizational tools such as charts, schedules, and recipe templates. This practical application helps translate character skills (like Sookie’s culinary management) into educational leadership.
Practice and Collaborate: Attendees will actively use Canva during the session to design and create materials, offering a practical learning experience.
Idea Sharing and Networking: Collaborate with fellow educators, sharing ideas and strategies, and learning from each other’s experiences to enhance informal leadership capabilities in your school.
This session is designed to inspire and equip educators with the tools to harness technology like Canva for improving leadership and organizational skills in an engaging and relatable way.
