Creativity in Learning - Coggle Diagram

- - - - This has been my biggest issue with my educational experience thus far. I can confidently say that while most teachers fail to utilize tech in a way that fosters creative thinking, the few courses I remember fondly & learned much in all involved educators that approached learning from unique & unconventional methods that encouraged our cognitive & creative growth.
    - - As a student myself this figure is close to what I would have guessed it would be
  - - - The study proves that education leaders MUST come together to communicate a compelling vision of how their schools must adapt their learning approaches to better prepare their students for the real-world.
  - - - tasks like writing papers or keeping track of assignments do NOT utilize creative aspects
      - traditional assessments remain the largest barrier that prevents tech from being more than a substitution for traditional learning tools
        
        We need to move past test taking and toward project-based, portfolio-style assignments that allow students to collaborate & innovate
        
        This would also allow work over an entire semester to feel worthwhile as it would be building to one final collection that displays everything you achieved in that class
        
        The tradeoff is more time commitment for students to complete them & for teachers to grade them since projects are more subjective & need personalized attention
    - - Personally I work better when I know it is for a greater purpose than an simple assessment of my individual performance & this lines up with the results of the survey
      - tech gives students a voice
        
        Students practice divergent thinking when sharing their ideas w/ classmates & receiving feedback
      - collaboration among teachers is also key as it creates a culture of support that can help encourage teachers to share ideas for innovation & push each other to find better ways to instill creativity in their lessons
