Creativity Blog Post Two
In class we discussed teaching tips for developing creativity. One of the tips is allowing time for creative thinking. Creativity takes time, and we as teachers need to allow time for students to think creatively. We need to allow our students to come up with ideas, and make them more outside the box, and have a creative ecge. If we give them the time, the students will be able to better develop their answers. I believe that with science experiments especially we must allow students the time to develop their ideas. Science experiments encompass more than just reading a lab and we must allow time for students to be able to think creatively on how the experiment works, and the variables involved. Therefore, I think it is important to have a large amount of allotted time available if you want your students to express ideas and responses creatively.

Along with what Carly said, allowing time also encourages even more creativity. Often the best ideas don't come to us right away. If we allow time for our students to work on projects, then they can think of many different ideas, resulting in a creative work. Students also get overwhelmed when they don't feel that they have enough time to finish an assignment, so they don't put their most creative work out there, in fear that they wont have enough time to work on it and develop it. Teachers need to give their students time to allow for the creative processes to occur.
