I learned a little more about my topic, teaching and the correlation
with creativity, throughout the research I conducted so far. It’s very
interesting to learn how important creativity can be for us in the long run. I
think that the arts are a way to begin to teach children about creativity and I
enjoy learning how important that is for education. I was glad to learn that
google has more search tools than I knew about. Since we had to complete our
assignment with the most current information it was helpful to use the advanced
search feature on google. I like to mark pages that are important for me to go
back to by adding it to my favorites also. The aspect of my topic that I would
like to research further is the benefits of creativity and how teachers can implement
ideas that will stay with students in order for them to use these skills later
in life.
My name is Valerie and here is a little about myself. I am a department manager at a retail store and although it's stressful I love working around a lot of different people each day. I am a single mother of two wonderful boys who keep me on my toes daily. I love to learn new things and this is definitely new for me! I am currently pursuing my AA and ultimately I want to teach. I hope to learn how to do more research in this class and I hope we all learn from each other in our blogs!
Hi Valerie.
ReplyDeleteI think utilizing creativity to influence students to be critical, forward thinkers is imperative in curriculum today. I think students coerced into straight-forward textbook reiterating does little to no good in practical, real-world settings where critical thinking skills prove to be invaluable assets. Creativity is a necessary skill to be able to think outside the box. We relate on our idea of researching topics on child development and skill-building. These building blocks are play a critical role in being a well-balanced individual. I look forward to reading your future posts.
