This week, Jerri and Jamie sit down with internationally recognized sketchnote artist and creativity champion Manuel Herrera to explore creativity, visual thinking, and the power of simply getting started.

Known for his dynamic visual storytelling and innovative use of technology, Manuel shares how creativity isn’t reserved for artists: it’s something anyone can develop with curiosity and confidence. Join in as Manuel guides Jerri and Jamie through the process of turning a simple scribble into art, proving creativity often begins with experimentation and imperfection.

P.S. Be sure to catch Manuel at ISTE 2026, where he’ll be leading engaging sessions in the ISTE Playground focused on hands-on creativity, visual learning, and innovative technology integration.
