often people limit creativity by defining it as creating something from nothing,which can paralyse & intimidate #saskedchat

In reply to @nick_schumacher

A2) Talent is innate ability, born with it; creativity can (and should) be cultivated. #saskedchat

kwhobbes - Moderator Dec 15 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1 - #saskedchat - creativity is something we all have but don’t always pay attention - being busy with being effective

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2: Talent is a natural aptitude/skill. I think some people may be more skilled at practicing creativity but all can be creative #saskedchat

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:16 PM EST

Do you think some people are more creatively talented? This is a common belief. #saskedchat

In reply to @nsulla

ayshayaqoob96 Dec 15 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2: I think both are similar in the sense that both can be fostered over time. I don't think anyone is "born without" either #saskedchat

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:16 PM EST

Creativity needs incubation time. The time crunch can crush creativity #saskedchat

In reply to @KatieWhite426, @nick_schumacher

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:17 PM EST

I wonder if the idea of talent gets in the way of learning. Talent often seems like a have or have not proposition #saskedchat

A2 - #saskedchat - Each is different - talent is not the same as creativity. Need to develop each.

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3: Some people have not learned that taking risks is vital to being creative. Being correct the first time limits creativity #saskedchat

ayshayaqoob96 Dec 15 @ 9:25 PM EST

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:25 PM EST

Interesting. So talent can be developed. We say that in sports but I don't hear it so much with creativity. #saskedchat

In reply to @kwhobbes

stangea - Moderator Dec 15 @ 9:25 PM EST

I find that like all learning, students need scaffolds even for creativity. They model others first, then synthesize their own. #saskedchat

nsulla Dec 15 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3) Why is creativity hard? Fear, lack of confidence, a love of the known, a love of structure, disdain for chaos, ... #saskedchat

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:26 PM EST

Yes, and a belief in ourselves and our capacity to make mistakes, take risks and learn and create as a result #saskedchat

Q5: Assessment moves learning forward. So, how do we do this...? #saskedchat

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:43 PM EST

You have to specifically engage in creative processes to build the skill. It isn't just offering choice.Ss need time to innovate #saskedchat

+It is easy to get hung up on what you think the process should be, and kill creativity along the way. #saskedchat

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:44 PM EST

When we get to application, we can integrate creativity. Plus, strong problem-solving (divergent) can be creative #saskedchat

A5: I think definitely assess based off of prior work. I don't believe in assessing it based on what I think it should be #saskedchat

A1: Creativity doesn't have to be about visuals - also about how you present/think about an idea #saskedchat

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:44 PM EST

Love this! Day dreaming #saskedchat

nsulla Dec 15 @ 9:41 PM EST

A4) Use a design process for problem-solving; use graphic organizers; build in time for daydreaming; ask probing questions. #saskedchat

that's a great suggestion. #saskedchat

A5: I don''t think we assess creativity. We assess learning goals and expect creativity #saskedchat

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5:1st become clear, ourselves, about criteria for creativity. Ex. gives multiple ideas, takes time to think, assesses results #saskedchat

LaVonnaRoth Dec 15 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5 Assessment & creativity use diff parts of brain. Analytical vs creative. We decrease creativity when analytical. Hmmm... #SaskEdChat

A5 - #saskedchat - It depends on what we wish to do with the assessment - why are we assessing? What is the purpose?

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:49 PM EST

I think it depends on the learning goal. I think it works way way better if creativity & self-asses go hand in hand #saskedchat

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:50 PM EST

A5: In arts education, ELA, etc, we assess the product of creativity. But to grow creative skills we have to know how it looks #saskedchat

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:51 PM EST

A5: I know this is true for me! #saskedchat

KatieWhite426 Dec 15 @ 9:51 PM EST

And we have to talk explicitly about creativity. How does it work? How can we build it? What do we need? #saskedchat

kwhobbes - Moderator Dec 15 @ 9:50 PM EST
