Spotlight: Go Ahead, Accept Failure, Fall Forward, and Fly
VWBPE 2025 Spotlight
Presented: April 05, 2025
Presenter: Zinnia Zauber (Renne Emiko Brock, Peninsula College)

To evolve, learn, and improve, one needs to be resilient to the change around them and within themselves. By integrating Japanese philosophical concepts and aesthetics into virtual learning, students see failure as a form of learning, embody adaptation, and accept that they will transform to rise above challenges. Teaching and creating transformational multimedia, digital storytelling, and art has a very personal and ego-crushing aspect.
Giving permission to experiment, play, and fail is a supportive way to express trust, freedom, and openness to innovation. Transformational and self-guided experiences teach students. In my classes, we embrace exploration, agency, personal side quests, and a lot of collaboration. Clear objectives, responsible use of technology, and dedication to beauty eliminate hours of undos. This empowers them to make a positive difference in the world and navigate their life’s mission with optimism and hope.
Objectives:
Participants will be able to give "Accept Failure" keys to unlock their potential and quit perfection.
Participants will be able to make unique AI tool guidelines for exploration, play, and production.
