I feel that I have to do something the "wrong" way to learn how to do it the "right" way. I always feel that everyone else just knows the "right" way and can do it. I feel that I have to struggle first, which can be so frustrating! ]]> 2021-08-10 13:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nancysutherland/mj0kmhhqsy4z5qpi/wish/1674092992 Creativity is a 4-step process - it takes time! nancysutherland https://padlet.com/nancysutherland/mj0kmhhqsy4z5qpi/wish/1674095306 1. exploration
2. elaboration
3. expression
4. reflection and response
 - these steps flow and can go in any order]]> 2021-08-10 13:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nancysutherland/mj0kmhhqsy4z5qpi/wish/1674095306 Feedback is very important - it is just another way of doing something. nancysutherland https://padlet.com/nancysutherland/mj0kmhhqsy4z5qpi/wish/1674099028 Teachers ask for feedback .
Model how to accept positive and negative feedback.
We can ask if students want feedback or not.

We can overthink creativity.
You really put out a piece of yourself. We need to make a safe learning culture where teachers and students are allowed to learn, which can be through making mistakes.

Establish a culture that it is ok to make mistakes. One way is to tell students about all of our failures.
2. Establish a trust in feedback whether positive or negative.  
3. "Plusing" - everyone that presents something adds on.
Example - "Yes, I think that will work and I can add on..."]]> 2021-08-10 13:41:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nancysutherland/mj0kmhhqsy4z5qpi/wish/1674113613
