Creativity in education has been a pressing topic for me lately. Two thoughts have bubbled to the top this week:
1. My goal as an educator is to stimulate creative thinking in students -- self-motivated, independent -- not dictated (I am way off the mark)
2. Can I now allow students to create not regurgitate?
The first is tricky. An edgy boundary between students frustrated, lost and the successful ones.
The second sounds unpleasant but is what the 21st century student will need to be. What do you think?
