Creativity - lessons need to have a hook. This helps with the behaviour management. The more interesting the lesson the more engaged the children are.
Looking at teaching in the 60’s - differences. We discussed how back then teachers had more chances for children to make and create. However, they had to copy the teacher, little chance to adapt and go on their own creative tangent.
Manaiakalani talks about the importance of sharing the knowledge and concepts learnt. Sharing these with other people and comparing ideas.. It is all about communication.
Creating paper planes. Had a task to create a plane that flew straight then to the left. Used internet to research and create.
Relevance to juniors: Children could share their data and new learning onto 'Book Creator - Ipad App.'
Older children: Google drawings.
We want children to be the creators of content not the consumers.
