Connecting to Communicating Your
Innovation Plan
Kindergarten is a grade where students constantly search and discover knowledge and the world around them. It is where they enter the world of letters and numbers for the first time. They have a lot to say but need help putting their ideas in order or writing them down meaningfully. After several months into the school year, we see how students still need to learn to think about an idea or write it down. Therefore, it isn't easy to achieve the stated objectives: opinion writing, informative and narrative writing.
This is a recurring problem that we have year after year in our classrooms, and it invites us to immerse ourselves in the search for new perspectives and alternatives, taking into account the characteristics of today's children. Look at my innovation proposal to see what I am proposing for Kaiser Elementary School's kindergarten bilingual classroom.
Implement new technologies (that are novel) that motivate them to delve into the writing process to achieve the goals set.
The implementation of blended education, proposed by Michael B. Horn, is a renewed and revolutionary proposal to meet these emerging needs. It allows us to combine in-person classroom instruction with virtual and online components to benefit from both. The result enhances in-person instruction with the ease, flexibility, and accessibility of technology, which allows us to celebrate the growth we can achieve with each child.
Given the emerging need to impact my student's learning, I developed an outline plan to help me begin and develop the Innovation proposal. Here, you will find dates, guiding questions, and action plans for the coming year. I plan to address the challenges I face in implementing this innovative practice. As I think about all the benefits it will provide, eclipsing any doubt that my fixed mindset (in the process of transformation) lets in.
At this point, you may have many questions to ask—a sea of successes and failures on the subject. If you would like to compare different approaches to the topic through authors at different stages of the process, we invite you to consult the literature review; there, you will find many answers to your questions. In this review, I analyze the effect of blended teaching on learning writing in the 21st-century child.
I will not stop here! I am not an expert in educational or mixed technology. I intend to continue enriching my search with new and innovative proposals on the subject. Here, I share some resources that I intend to explore.

- My learning Philosophy.
What are some beliefs about learning? People can learn anywhere, in any way, and with different methods. This means that the learning process can vary depending on each individual's needs, interests, learning styles, and previous experiences.

- New Culture of Learning
Cultivating the Imagination for a world of constant change. In this reflection, we will refer to some fundamental ideas from the book “A New Learning Culture” by (Douglas et al. Brown, 2011). Those who propose a simple, subtle methodology that calms anxiety and ignites hope for the future. These concepts, such as tactical knowledge, inhabitation, and collective play, have a competitive advantage. A new culture of learning draws energy from play, where experimentation unleashes powerful imaginations. Our purpose would be to explain the main challenges, how to address them, and how they will affect the adoption of creating educational learning environments in my organization. Read More.
