principal64 - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Innovation only occurs when people don't fear failure. They are willing to try and try again #mdeschat

mrdonnelly3 Jun 8 @ 8:11 PM EDT

I would trust and respect my Ss natural curiosity and innovativeness #mdeschat

DonWettrick Jun 8 @ 8:12 PM EDT

justincholbrook Jun 8 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Hey #mdeschat Justin 4th grade teacher here for a few mins while I watch @ussoccer try to qualify for the World Cup!

jazzmeister2013 Jun 8 @ 8:12 PM EDT

In K, certain centers inspire increased creativity. Building and exploring. Molding and changing. #mdeschat

DonWettrick Jun 8 @ 8:13 PM EDT

What happens when students don't want to be creative... just test prep (this is very common past 6th grade). #mdeschat

We just keep pushing them to be creative. We support them and remind them they are more than just number on a page. #mdeschat

In reply to @DonWettrick

principal64 - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Students WANT to be creative, they just need ONE inspiring teacher to show them the way, motivate them, light the fire #mdeschat

jonbelt1980 Jun 8 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: You find there interests and provide opp to bring the creativity out - Jon from Oklahoma City. MS Teacher. #mdeschat

DeniseFaidley Jun 8 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2. Work to explore Ss motivation and interests. #mdeschat

DonWettrick Jun 8 @ 8:17 PM EDT

What non-edu books do you recommend for teachers to think more outside the box? #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Jun 8 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2- I think everyone has some level of creativity that is displayed uniquely through each person. #mdeschat (p1)

jazzmeister2013 Jun 8 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2- I think that Ts have a responsibility to help Ss unlock their creativity and explore while eliminating fear of failure. #mdeschat (p2)

mrdonnelly3 Jun 8 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Drive is one, but I think it is fairly popular among educators already. #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Jun 8 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Welcome to #mdeschat, Jon! Glad you could join us. Great point on finding out about Ss interests and building on them.

principal64 - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Any book by @Gladwell, Outliers, Tipping Point, What the Dog Saw #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Jun 8 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Definitely! Build on motivation, especially intrinsic motivation, when Ss ownership of the learning is at its highest. #mdeschat

In reply to @DeniseFaidley

justincholbrook Jun 8 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A1: Model the way and challenge the process for students through risk taking as an educator. Try something new and push reality. #mdeschat

What non-edu books do you recommend for teachers to think more outside the box? #mdeschat

Last question: How will YOU incorporate more #innovation time or #GeniusHour in your classroom this year? #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Jun 8 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Welcome to #mdeschat, Mike! Glad you could join us tonight. Thanks for the recommendations. Will have to check these out. #mdeschat

justincholbrook Jun 8 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2: I feel students are creative inherently/ genetically and we have strangled it with test practice & deficit mindsets #mdeschat

mrdonnelly3 Jun 8 @ 8:27 PM EDT

As I gain comfort with 6th graders I'm Bette able to trust and guide them towards being creative #mdeschat

principal64 - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Genius Hour and innovation start with a commitment to try, need planning with intention, scheduling, resources, training #mdeschat

mrdonnelly3 Jun 8 @ 8:28 PM EDT

So I'm going to trust the students to be more independent and not control what they produce as much #mdeschat

mikeplourde1 Jun 8 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Ask teachers to share their successes and challenges with the faculty and provide opportunities for peer observation #geniushour #mdeschat

justincholbrook Jun 8 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A4: Analyze standards which can be addressed through student creation. Then trust kids! They can do anything with empowerment #mdeschat

RichwineM Jun 8 @ 8:30 PM EDT

For next school year, as our current school year ends Tuesday, I look forward to implementing Genius Hour early on w/ my K Ss. #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Jun 8 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4- As Ive read more about Genius Hour, my biggest area of inquiry has been how to make it accessible & functional at K level. #mdeschat

justincholbrook Jun 8 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Thanks @jazzmeister2013 for the invite & thanks @DonWettrick for moderating! @ussoccer time! Still #nilnil #mdeschat
