I continued my conversation with the students during lunchtime on Friday, and realized that creativity needs to be defined with them! I think everyone has a different vision and definition for what creativity means, but I also think we, as educators, hope that students see the broader picture, and understand that creativity encompasses all disciplines.
When I had the discussion with the students, I asked them point blank how we could be more creative in the classroom. Their answers were varied, from having a less restricted schedule in the classroom to using the Promethean Board for more than just a screen. The last answer was one I jumped on. Finally-something I can change! Some teachers use the Promethean Board for interactive experiences. Some use it as a screen to watch educational videos. Some use it as a screen to show the assignments for the day. I need to change that! Students should be using the Board, not just teachers! Tuesday morning, when we return to school, I'm going to arrange a PD for my teachers so they can see all that can be accomplished with Promethean Boards, and how it can change the learning in their classroom! I'm excited! I'm ready for change!
