This article has some great ideas: emweisslinger https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265180765 2018-06-03 01:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265180765 Have a “quescussion.’ Ask a guiding question and students must then come up with additional questions that relate to and build upon the topic, developing their critical thinking skills. NOTE: students are not allowed to answer questions during the quescussion, only develop new questions. emweisslinger https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265180772 2018-06-03 01:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265180772 Form collaborative groups, allowing students to not only learn to work together and communicate effectively, but also gain a better understanding of what they are learning and improve their critical thinking skills through flexible collaboration. emweisslinger https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265180781 2018-06-03 01:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265180781 Develop an imagination mindset so that students become motivated to learn, look at challenges creatively, and don’t see failing as an obstacle, but rather learn how to fail forward so that they learn from their mistakes. emweisslinger https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265180789 2018-06-03 01:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265180789 Make learning visible. Build in visualization activities and have students make images in their minds. Then, as students share their images, they will begin to understand the many perspectives each member of the class has on the same topic. emweisslinger https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265180794 2018-06-03 01:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265180794 Try a socratic seminar and provide a list of potential questions. ksconce2 https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265514948 2018-06-05 00:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265514948 Post Visuals in the room of a creative process that they can follow. ksconce2 https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265515619 2018-06-05 00:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265515619 Display a Growth Mindset poster and reference it when students feel negative. ksconce2 https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265516537 2018-06-05 00:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265516537 You could have students do a similar brainstorming activity just like this one we are doing. They could even use Padlet. Here is a visual for a Divergent thinking; ksconce2 https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265747593 2018-06-05 21:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265747593 Try a fun re-mix activity. It gives students a starting point that they can build on. Attached is an article that has a list of Music Tech activities. #8 is the re-mix that sounds cool. ksconce2 https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265749152 2018-06-05 22:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265749152 Start out the week/unit with an over-aching question on the board. ksconce2 https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265761387 2018-06-06 00:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265761387 Reverse the question: Students pose their problem by first tapping into their own wishes and goals that might have real-life results or be largely theoretical and in end in the modeling stages. (see strategy#1 attached) ksconce2 https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265761643 2018-06-06 00:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/265761643 Great Ideas spatter41 https://padlet.com/kfludd/creativity/wish/266439442 I love how so many of these ideas are truly about various methods of running a discussion ... there are many ways, you have to find the one that you're comfortable with and then work with your students on the skills necessary ... Plus you have many other suggestions of how to support the discussion.
