I am proud of you for stopping by your principal's office to share this with him and I am very excited that he cleared his schedule to watch you in action! I am a principal at a grade 5-6 campus in Texas I part of our challenge as a campus this year has been to BE CREATIVE in our daily work... both for teachers and students. School is fun an enjoyable when we take that approach. <br /><br />Keep sharing your ideas of creativity and thinking differently against the status-quo. Your mindset about creativity will change the world by making a difference in people's lives that you will never even meet. Keep up the POSITIVE point of view & Make Great ART everyday!<br /><br />~JeffAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09388672730035147914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-47549159481226996832014-03-31T11:04:15.106-04:002014-03-31T11:04:15.106-04:00Eric,

I can relate to the deflation of student interest due to the cookie cutter education style. Unfortunately, sometimes the vision of the "exact" final product trumps the learning process and the student's vision of what a product should look like. <br />My district/campus experiencing a technological transition at this point. As I have mentioned the last time we spoke over a camel burger in Houston, Clear Creek ISD is phasing in a 1:1 initiative. We have many dedicated and fantastic teachers in our community. I feel that a large number of instructors feel trepidation about utilizing new technology in the classroom. I have a great idea for an action research project that I plan to conduct next school year. Hopefully, the project will highlight a conglomeration of techniques and best practices that bear authentic and creative fruit throughout our campus.<br />Sarah's project was pretty awesome! I plan to share it with the entire faculty! Thank you for sharing!<br />See you in a couple of weeks!<br />-Ryan PetersonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977097353772760039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-9634574372091533622014-03-31T11:02:00.111-04:002014-03-31T11:02:00.111-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977097353772760039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-71012652127244634192014-03-30T12:26:43.578-04:002014-03-30T12:26:43.578-04:00Sarah,
Beautiful way to begin Sunday morning with...Sarah,<br /><br />Beautiful way to begin Sunday morning with your video. I will share with so many individuals who I know will appreciate your voice, passion and energy for innovative, creative learning! Thanks for your resources. Will check them out. I just finished reading The Innovator's DNA by Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregersen, Clayton Christensen. You and your video reminded me of the messages contained in this book. <br />Best wishes. You will make a difference in our world!
