They did an experiment to see if and how much walking outside did to improve your creativity. They had some students just sit, and see how creative they were. Some sat for a while and then took a walk, some walked, and then sat down, and others just walked the whole time. The experimenters found that participators who walked, or walked first and then sat down were more creativity productive than those who didn't walk, or walked later. In the end, if you want to be creative, go outside, look at nature, and boom! There's your ideas.

If walking helps produce creativity, why aren't we doing more of that in school?

Why is it that our brain connects walking in nature to producing more creativity?]]> 2018-09-14 19:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281506014 Amber, Josi & Lucas https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281506299 Creative Training
Creative Training is the act of understanding what creativity is, the reasons why creativity is important in our lives, and the best ways to become "more creativity." 

What do you believe counts as creativity? 

In what ways do you believe you could train creativity?

What effect would other types of movement have on creativity?

How can you measure creativity?

Walking outside promotes the growth of creativity more than walking inside. When sitting down inside the participants showed the least amount of growth, followed by being wheeled around in a wheelchair outside, then followed by walking around inside and finally the most growth was brought about by walking outside.]]> 2018-09-14 19:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281506688 Maddie and Sinclair https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281506816 Intro and Mind-Body conection 
1.)  At any point have you noticed that doing different activities change the way you think?
2.) What environment makes you think in a more creative way? 

Small exercises have positive effects on creativity, by small we mean dancing or running. While walking/running/sprinting you can increase the speed of concurrent cognition or thought.

Experiment 1.) Yes, because if your mind is stimulated it can think better. 
Experiment 2.) I don't think it matters that they sat in the same spot/position because they were still sitting.  
Experiment 3.) Because most teachers don't know much about psychology and because of that we end up learning harder not smarter.
Experiment 4.) It should not matter as long as your moving.

This experiment proves a theory that exercise can stimulate the mind and enhance divergent thinking. This experiment consisted of having subjects do different activities while sitting and while walking. The point was to figure out if they were more creative if they were walking as opposed to sitting.

Discussion Questions

1. Do you think this study correlates to the performance of students in school that exercise before class? Why?

2. Do you think that the amount of activity you do before learning alters how well you learn? Why?]]> 2018-09-14 19:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281506914 Kassadi & Josie 20mozenj https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281509870 Experiment 2
They experimented to see if there was a difference in creative thinking while walking versus while sitting. They did three tests
1) sit-sit- they sat the whole time and had no improvements on creativity
2) sit-tread- sat half the time then walked on a treadmill the other half, creative thinking improved during the walking
3) tread-sit - they walked on a treadmill for half the time then sat the rest of the time and test proved that there was significant creative improvement while sitting after having walked First.  
This proves that although there may be no connection of walking and thinking that creativity improves during/after walking.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
-Could movement actually help creative thinking?
-Why did it matter that the people that sat both time were in the exact same spot/position or not?]]> 2018-09-14 19:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281509870 https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281509916 2018-09-14 19:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281509916 Hailey & Katie https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281509989 Creative training.
The article was about how creative thinking can be a process in your brain that is enhanced my walking at a natural pace. Also talked about how creativity is a big part of our world. You can also be trained to be better with your creativity. 
1) Why is creativity so important in our world?
2) Would have been able to live without the experiment. ]]> 2018-09-14 19:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281509989 Danielle and Nicole: Responses https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281511892 Creativity Training: Exposing yourself to different things would allow your brain to explain and gather experience, and this would train your brain to become more creativity.
Experiment 1: We think that if you exercise before a class, your mind is already working.
Experiment 2: With State Dependency Memory, the same position helps your brain come to the same conclusion. If we walk or sit in a different place, then our brain is working harder to think of new scenarios, thus bringing more creativity.
Experiment 4: Creativity is an abstract thought. But at it's basic form, creativity could be measured on your ability to think of new scenarios than what you are use to or have experience more.]]> 2018-09-14 19:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281511892 Amber, Josi, and Lucas's Responses https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281512363 The Mind Body Connection:
 Question 1- I would say yes because certain activities require more and different thinking than others.
Experiment 1:
We believe that the works do correlate between exercising students, because it stimulates the brain for better learning experiences.
Experiment 2:
Movement does help creativity, because the data provided shows how thoughts are freshened when moving the body, connecting the inner parts of a person.
Experiment 3:
More stimulation and better circumstances that the brain can draw unique ideas of.
Experiment 4:
Stretching is another activity to help creativity because you have to move your body in unique positions. ]]> 2018-09-14 19:59:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281512363 Nicholas & Carter's Responses 20runesn https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281513191 `Mind/Body Connection: (Q1) Neither of us noticed a difference in our thinking during other activities.
Creativity Training: (Q1) Creativity is important in our world because it is the central factor in new discoveries and inventions. Without creativity, people may just be stuck in the same box of thinking and never learn anything new.
Experiment 1: (Q2) No, creativity is important for discovering entirely new information yourself, but doesn't appear to help much in retention of taught information.
Experiment 2: (Q2) If the people who sat both times weren't in the same spot each time, they would have had some separate activity in between their tests, resulting in interference with data.
Experiment 3: (Q1) The school day generally doesn't have enough time for extended periods of walking, especially here. We have a small enough number of periods in a day as is, it'd be much harder to graduate taking out more time for walking. Besides, passing time could could as the walking necessary for enhanced creativity if your classes are far enough apart.]]> 2018-09-14 20:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281513191 Ashley, Elliana, and Gavin's Responses https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281513199 The Mind-Body Connection:
We believe that activity in the morning allows the brain to wake up and be more prepared for rigorous classes throughout the day compared to just rolling out of bed and going to class.

Creativity Training:
Creativity is very important in our world because it allows new technology and designs to be produced. It also allows the brain to be free and clear of restrictions. 

Experiment 2:
Movement is definitely beneficial to creative thinking because it allows your body and brain to be more awake and aware of possible ideas and circumstances. 

Experiment 3:
We believe that we do lots of walking in school. We walk between each class and many classes have activities that will allow you to move around the room and be active in groups.

Experiment 4:
We believe that creativity can not be measured. Anyone is capable of being creative whether they are trying or not.

Experiment 1: Yes, because it helps blood move through our bodies which also helps us think better.
Experiment 2: Yes, if you are walking and you see stuff that interests you and think of things you might like.

Experiment 4:
General discussion/Conclusion:]]> 2018-09-14 20:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281513423 Kassadi & Josie: Responses 20mozenj https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281513954 The Mind-Body Connection: Scientific environments, quiet environments.
Creativity Training: New/ different ideas.
Experiment 1: yes because you become more awake and alert
Experiment 3: because of new environments and new situations
Experiment 4: by how original or descriptive the ideas/thoughts are
General Discussion: creativity is at its best/highest while moving or exercising outdoors because it better stimulates the mind and introduces you to new inspiring environments ]]> 2018-09-14 20:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amorley/4kgeybhycn7a/wish/281513954
