What happens when we let creativity take the lead and give students the right digital tools?
We got the answer when Foxway’s iMagination Lab visited Adapted Adult Education in Falkenberg. With four different workshops to choose from, and together with educator Lisa Cederholm, we experienced an afternoon filled with focus, pride, and clear proof that technology can help break down barriers.
Foxway’s iMagination Lab is a portable workshop designed to inspire and create a safe, creative, and inclusive learning environment. But to truly understand its impact, we need to zoom in on a classroom in Falkenberg, where four students from adapted adult education were given the opportunity to explore their creativity in a whole new way.
Technology that opens new worlds
The students, all with different disabilities, are used to working with digital tools in their everyday learning. But this afternoon, when iMagination Lab rolled in, they were introduced to iPads and Apple Pencils, tools that quickly proved to be key to both engagement and independence.
One moment that really stayed with us was meeting one of the participants, a student with severe visual disability. Traditional creative activities can sometimes be challenging for her. But with an iPad and Apple Pencil, something remarkable happened. She found the pencil easy to use, and the technology responded instantly to her movements. The obstacles faded away, leaving only the joy of creating.
It was a powerful example of how accessible technology can help a student “get started” and express themselves freely, regardless of physical limitations.
“A quiet moment of total focus”
The goal of this iMagination Lab workshop is to strengthen self-confidence and allow students to express thoughts and emotions through art and music. The result in Falkenberg was striking. Educator Lisa Cederholm describes the experience as a moment of complete concentration:
“What I reflected on afterwards was how focused they became. It was a quiet moment where they sat completely absorbed in what they were doing, taking the task very seriously,” Lisa explains.
The students painted everything from football fields to abstract shapes, moving in rhythm with the music, each finding their own unique expression. What began as curiosity quickly turned into pride when they shared their artwork with each other on a large screen, an important step in building a sense of community within the group
A Memory that lives on
The impact of the visit didn’t end when the workshop was over. Afterwards, students described the afternoon as “so much fun” and expressed a wish for Foxway to come back. Lisa Cederholm also shares that the experience inspired students to continue creating digitally at home.
This visit to Falkenberg is a reminder of why we at Foxway work with digital development in education. It’s not just about hardware, it’s about giving every individual, regardless of their abilities, the opportunity to say: “Look what I’ve created.”
