A3) Many feel "creative" is synonymous w/"artistic",actually refers to a wide range of skills, critical thinking & problem solving #3rdchat

itsmeSpiri May 17 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3b) Need to understand what creativity is, in order to model it, not always artistic, encompasses many other skills #3rdchat

MrRussoRH May 17 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3: in your thinking aloud with kids, in your actions. How you approach a problem, how you search for solutions. "I wonder..." #3rdchat

In reply to @MrsAlligood13

MrsPug1 - Moderator May 17 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4 Target towards S interest. Maybe something as simple as the way it's presented or how they respond? #3rdchat

MrRussoRH May 17 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4: consider how they could be done differently, more effectively, more efficiently. Have Ss brainstorm together. Rationale too! #3rdchat

itsmeSpiri May 17 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Absolutely! #3rdchat

In reply to @adayinclass3a

mleonard03 - Moderator May 17 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4: by being CREATIVE! 😂 Seriously though, by encouraging dif. Methods, processes, thinking, etc. discussion and discovery! #3rdchat

itsmeSpiri May 17 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4) Ss really enjoy backwards thinking...present a solution, ask Ss to construct problem (math, current event, real world) #3rdchat

Ron_Martiello May 17 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4: I try not to make routines redundant. Inject Ss voices. Ask how they could show their learning in a different way. #3rdchat

MrRussoRH May 17 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4.1: have Ss learn about people who solved/created/built something in a creative way. Give examples, have Ss consider the how. #3rdchat

itsmeSpiri May 17 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5)Type A need to know they're not "wrong", But there is no "wrong" in creativity, it's whatever Ss want it to be, drive that home #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator May 17 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5. Push them out of their comfort zone and work to find their niche. Look at creativity differently #3rdchat

Ron_Martiello May 17 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: Go project base. Have them create multiple paths to a solution. Not always one way. Not always about answer. #3rdchat
