21st Century Skills: Promoting Creativity and Innovation in the Classroom

21st Century Skills: Promoting Creativity and Innovation in the Classroom | 21st Century skills of critical and creative thinking | Scoop.it
InnovatingCreatingThinking's curator insight, March 6, 11:33 AM

Students in successful classrooms not only understand what they are learning, but why they are learning it and how it connects to the world beyond the classroom. Whether it is designing all the components to make a house in a high school maths/technology class or reading a home reader in primary school, students are able to connect with the what, how and why  of learning.

David Hain's curator insight, June 19, 4:19 AM

Invest in time doing nothing!

John Michel's curator insight, June 19, 5:19 AM

The most important reason to schedule buffers is to just catch your breath. There is no faster way to feel as though your day is not your own, and that you are no longer in control, than scheduling meetings back to back from the minute you arrive at the office until the moment you leave. I’ve felt the effects of this and seen it with colleagues. Not only is it not fun to feel this way, it’s not sustainable.

Pedagogies of Scale | Critical Pedagogy | HYBRID PEDAGOGY | 21st Century skills of critical and creative thinking | Scoop.it

Underestimating students is an epidemic, one that even critical pedagogues and so-called student-centered classrooms can easily fall victim to. This happens at every scale. It’s especially egregious, though, to underestimate students in classes of 20 or 10 or 5, where the student-to-teacher ratio creates more space for the voice of the teacher and less critical mass for student revolt. Watching a teacher drone incessantly to a room of 10 bored-to-death students makes even a TED Talk look blissfully interactive.

Future Models of Learning - Debate

Future Models of Learning - Debate | 21st Century skills of critical and creative thinking | Scoop.it

Does new technology conflict with or complement established teaching and learning? What is the impact on the teaching profession as we have traditionally known it? Will the power of the internet, with new innovations such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), create an unstoppable ‘avalanche’ of education reform, or are these reforms a false revolution? Can the value of face-to-face quality learning and student-teacher relationships ever really be questioned, at any level of education? Will the class room, lecture theatre, and traditional notion of education space – schools and universities – be usurped by a screen, online and distance learning, or alternative spaces such as the workplace, home, or concert-hall?

Using the Micro Lab Protocol to Defend Colony Choice » Cultures of Thinking

Mary Perfitt-Nelson's curator insight, June 15, 10:57 AM

Micro Lab Protocol:  The purpose of this routine is to deepen thinking and understanding by engaging students in synthesizing and organizing their ideas  This protocol is designed to ensure equal participation and make sure everyone contributes.  It works best when students are in groups of three.  A protocol is distinguishedl from a routine in that the rounds of sharing are timed by the teacher to keep all the groups on track, and focused. There are four key parts to this protocol:  a) First person shares (1-2 minutes), b) Pause for 20-30 seconds for group members to reflect, c) Repeat for persons 2 and 3, d) Discuss as a group (5-10minutes)
