@oliviakundo @drjervin @SirKenRobinson #EDMC3500 I also love creativity in students. I think this creativity needs to be creatively manifested in each student. The way the speaker talked about creativity encouraged me to find creative ways to bring out my students' creativity!

@grace_lyndia @drjervin @SirKenRobinson #EDMC3500 I think you bring up a really good point! I really liked what the speaker said about letting students be who they are and, as you said, not trying to force students to fit in a box.

@drjervin #EDMC3500 A4: a way to implement those ideas would be to invest in the creativity of each individual students. A teacher can come up with many different versions of a project so that each student has a personalized way to express their knowledge.

@misschris_ED @drjervin #EDMC3500 @misschris_ED, I really like how you mentioned "physiclaly interacting with classmates". I think we often forget that students are among other students and that working with each other is extremely beneficial to their learning!

@struble_katie @drjervin #EDMC3500 I totally agree with you @struble_katie! PBL allows students to be creative in how they learn and how they decide to share that knowledge. Real-life connections are so important because students need to know that what they are learning applies to their future!

@drjervin #EDMC3500 A3: A way to make learning integrated by design is to incorporate technology into the classroom. Through the use of tech, students are able to individually express themselves through software and figure out problems effectively and creatively.

@misschris_ED @drjervin @AMLE #EDMC3500 I think educators get stuck on the thought that there is only one type of assessment: the traditional test. This resource is extremely helpful as it helps teachers figure out more fun, creative ways to assess their students' understanding.

@abigail_grace31 @drjervin @AMLE #EDMC3500 I think this is a great resource. I think it is easy to forget that there has to be an aspect of appreciation for what the students are learning; they forget that it is actually beneficial to their learning experience.

@drjervin @AMLE #EDMC3500 A2 My top resource is called "Classroom Strategies for Using Literature to Help Students with Daily Struggles". This is a useful resource because it allows teachers to connect literature discussed in class to their students' regular lives.

@struble_katie @drjervin #EDMC3500 YES! It can be something as simple as changing seating arrangements; I forget this. Just by seating your students in a certain way can make them feel more included in their learning and in the classroom.

[Taylor Leeds @TaylorLeeds1]

@espling_anna @drjervin #EDMC3500 I think teachers often forget that they are allowed to include students in their lesson planning. Students want to have a grip on their learning just as much as the teacher does. Students will also be more invested in the project.

[Taylor Leeds @TaylorLeeds1]

@drjervin #EDMC3500 A1: Students and teachers will be able to guide learning through their relationship. Students will be able to work with their teacher to find a learning style that is suited for them. "Teachers serve as mentors".
