<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Are your students sleep walking with blank screens for their own life path and purpose in life that leaves their motivation and passion for learning flatlining?

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">The **<span style="color: #172fef; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">I-imagine **<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> project uses **applied storytelling** techniques to awaken every student's inner dreamer and believer to the realization that the world needs their light - their unique gifts and passions in making a difference for good. It is grounded in new research [which will be shared] of an almost magical impact when hope and joy are nurtured in our youth. Hearts with daily, positive choices come alive as students begin discovering and activating their own life-goals realized during the vision video making - celebrating the truth that their lives and talents matter to the world.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Our inner stories exert tremendous influence on us, driving us either by limiting or enlarging our sense of reality and possibility. Change the story and we change what is real, acceptable, and possible. . . much like the imaginative cells responsible for a caterpillar’s DNA experiences transforming into a newer version of themselves - the butterfly! The story we tell about ourselves shapes everything we see, think and do – often without our even being aware of it.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Participants will get a detailed overview of the curriculum and processes called **<span style="color: #142ced; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">I-imagine: Taking MY Place in the World **<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> as a student's personal, scrapbooking journey inviting them into exploring [pre-writing] their talents, interests and gifts; then mining the best-of-the-best ideas [story plot points] that most "speak" to them and then finally inventing and crafting their best life FUTURE story with the prompt: //"Create a future story of your own BEST positive life 20 years from now AS IF you are already living the life you want shining your light for good in the world."//

===<span style="color: #f40b2a; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Part 2 - //<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">I-imagine Waking UP a Generation for Their OWN Greatness ~ // //<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">The Nutz and Boltz of Launching in Classrooms //===

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Teachers are featured as "wave packet activators" in this HOW-TO webinar for launching and managing creating I-imagine Vision Videos in classrooms. Classroom time is precious - but we also want to prepare the teacher for maximum success! Time symbolizes what is valued in our life. Making time to unfold and celebrate the uniqueness of each human spirit during this scrapbooking journey will also deepen and strengthen the rich experiences needed for students to awaken a belief in their personal power to create a life that matters.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Teachers can plan for basic I-imagine tasks or take deeper time dives. But beware that fast tracking students’ experiences will likely negate any benefits possible. The hands-on, introspective tasks along with intermittently sharing within a larger community activates the possibilities as well as builds positive relationships that will reap a multitude of benefits through and beyond the school year as well. As they say. . . "the devil is in the details." This webinar is about the details!
