This article is about how technology can boost student creativity. It asks for teachers to transform their teaching method. Examples they give are puzzles or a quest of their own. They also discuss the flipped class method. All of these types of technology lessons lead to student creativity.
Schools are not doing enough for students to use their imagination trhough creativity. Maybe is becuase as grownups our imagination is curbed by rules, limits and theories. Children are very creative and they have great imagination. Teaching methods should be transformed using the technology available such as students taking pictures, making videos, and expressing their thoughts creatively with others.
The advantage of using technology devices in the classroom is that it opens the doors to a vast universe of possibilities in which the student may take part and use to complete assignments and homework. The large quantity of sources available to students online, including learning applications, serve students as a springboard to their imagination and their creative tendencies to help them understand more about the world. In my classroom I incorporate the use of applications and the internet by assigning students assignments that require them to search the web and apply their creative ideas to make one-of-a-kind projects and assignments.
"Confession: We at EdSurge are a bit in love with what may be America’s favorite new pastime: making. Indeed, it’s been a busy two years since we published our first guide on making, during which makerspaces have spread into classrooms and curriculum far and wide. But for many, issues of budget and buy-in mean maker education is still far from mainstream.
To be sure, there have been changes in the Maker movement in the decade-plus since the first Maker Faires wooed a new generation of DIYers. Along the way, we’ve celebrated successes and asked hard questions. How can we help making become more equitable and inclusive? How can maker ed embrace traditional technology, including computer science? What are the benefits of a maker education, and how do we measure them? In this guide, we hope you’ll find answers to—or at least ideas about—these and other questions that explore the meaning of making."

Many thanks to the folks who commented on Part 1 of this blog series, and to those people who contacted me privately to tell me about cases where face-to-face learning is playing a significant role for MOOC learners. In this post I will share what I have learned from that communication, as well as briefly summarising some of the literature I…

Pour la seconde fois, le ministère de l’éducation nationale, de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherche a organisé avec ses opérateurs (Canopé, Cned, Onisep) durant le salon Educatec-Educatice #HackÉduc, le Hackathon de l’Éducation nationale pour la création de ressources numériques par les enseignants, pour les enseignants. Cette 2nde édition à permis de primer 5 initiatives, […]

Ce qui se joue c'est la culture professionnelle numérique des enseignants", explique-t-il. Apparemment elle se fabrique largement hors de portée de l'institution. "Il y a besoin d'un tissu associatif, de réseaux", estime-t-il. "La seule chose qu'on demande c'est qu'on soit bien dans un projet Education nationale avec des référentiels communs. Ce qui importe c'est ce qui se fait sur le terrain mais dans un cadre commun, celui de l'Education nationale".
Et le ministère pense avoir trouvé l'outil pour cela avec Myriaé, le moteur de recherche des ressources pédagogiques que le ministère a lancé au salon Educatice. A vrai dire c'est une nouvelle tentative du ministère après Edubase et Educasources, qui n'ont pas rencontré un très grand succès. Les enseignants utilisent les mêmes moteurs de recherche que le grand public. Et ils font confiance à l'échange de bonnes adresses entre collègues.

A few months ago I was introduced to Slack through my role as Community Administrator for the Flipped Learning Network. We started using the platform as a communication, content sharing, and engagement resource for the flipped learning community.
At first I was a little reluctant to have yet another app to deal with, but I quickly came to appreciate the powerful simplicity of the platform. A Google search made it obvious that educators are embracing the platform as well (more an that below).
