Chapter 5” Supporting Student Creativity”

Likes/Dislikes

           Chapter 5 “Supporting Student Creativity” was filled with many interesting topics related to student’s creativity. While I believe that forms of technology can benefit students in the classroom, I feel it shouldn’t be used in every aspect of a students learning and development. Although using technology tools could assist students to explore new ideas that technology offers, I simply dislike the concept of involving it with student’s creativity as well as critical thinking skills. I feel that technology could be used for students to enhance some learning areas but when coming to creativity there should be more real life hands on activities provided.

 

Further Clarification

               Although integrating technology into the classroom to support student’s creativity is a great idea, many students develop these skills at different times than others. With that being a factor in classrooms, how should teacher implement creativity into the classroom environment for all her students.

Classroom Connection

               While I never knew the correct term for the “creative thinking process”, I have observed this technique being implemented several times while completing my observation hours. The teacher usually starts the lesson with a brief introduction/warm-up, secondly identifies the lesson, and finally followed with the actual lesson. It’s amazing how this process affects students and their overall learning when introduced with a new lesson.http://prezi.com/9d7-gilxxhau/supporting-fostering-student-creativity/
