What is creativity?



Creativity is the way the mind sees things and then puts it to use.
Creativity matters in education because in education you have to have special ways of getting the mind to focus and having more creative ways of teaching will get the students to focus more and have fun in the class room.
There are many ways of creativity in my site school class room. My teacher has each student their own water bottle so they don't have to go out and get a drink every time they are thirsty, we also write each of our spelling words on a little piece of paper, then put them in order and punch a hole in the side and put them on a string and make a neckless out of them! My students loved the new idea and the ones that never use to want to do their ABC order now do it with no problem!

Hire me, please!

  1. My strengths would be having my resume done and communicating with the person interviewing me well. I can easily hold a conversation with someone, because I am a friendly person and like to meet new people. My weaknesses is getting comfortable and being able to talk, because I am also a very shy person.
  2. I can over come my weakness by being more confident in myself and what I do in life. 
  3. I have applied for a job and I got the job, because I was very nice and friendly which mean I would be able to help costumers in a friendly way.

Digital Learning Day

I would use the iPod touch because there are apps to where you can make your own stories and take your own pictures on the iPod touch. I would have a station in the class room to where 3- 5 students could go to this station and make their own story. At the end of the day we would draw names and the students that were picked could share their stories. You get this app buy going to the app store and finding which app you would like to buy for your students to use.
Storyrobe 
In Mrs. Ristow's 2nd grade class we used iPod touches and used the app storyrobe.  Many of my students made their own stories and enjoyed their time while doing the activity.
