    Creativity Tips #11-20 for #LDvid30

    I can’t believe I’ve finished 20 of these – 10 more to go! I’ve really enjoyed coming up with something each day…particularly trying to correlate with a daily event or a metaphor I’ve come across in my day-to-day living. Most amusing, of course, are all the “fails” from the voice recognition….maybe that will be a blooper roll.

    Creativity Tips Vlog Series: 1-10 #LDvid30

Some topics are influenced by my previous work in this field, but others are totally spontaneous, relating to something going on at present.

    Make du Jour: Daily Diet of Creativity

    One of my favorite quotes on my classroom’s massive white glossy “inspiration wall” is from John Cage: “There is no win, there is no fail, there is only make” My personal goal this year is to get students involved in the creative process as much as possible, shifting away from consuming and stressing the importance of producing, contributing, making, and sharing on a daily basis. In addition to their regular steady diet of project-based assessments, I’m trying to have several

    Leveraging for Legacy

    image: my student, Sam St. John I’ve been really enjoying participating in #etmooc, and the last Blackboard session with Alec got me thinking of connectivism again. Each year I have my IB Theory of Knowledge students read “Knowing Knowledge” by George Siemens (2006) KnowingKnowledge_LowRes (1) Last year we had a lively socratic circle activity with a Twitter backchannel, but this year I decided to include the reading and obligatory reflection in their semester exam. They resp
