Anna Vital - How To Think Visually Using Visual Analogies Most...
"In this grid I organized analogies from the abstract down to the more detailed. I grouped them by similarity in shape.

Professional Development: Creative and Innovation Thinking

- Demonstrate critical, creative, and innovative thinking;
- Develop understanding through inquiry, research, and synthesis.
- Introduce Website
- The 30 circles activity
- Teachers chose an article from this list and read it.
- Group people together by article. Using the Coffee Talk protocol, discuss and gather feedback.
- "It was difficult to see a rubric on creativity and not think of it as an assessment tool, but rather a guideline to define creativity."
- "I appreciated the opportunity to think about how another educator thought about assessing creativity."
- "The importance of brainstorming and the many ways that can manifest itself in the classroom. Students still need practice brainstorming and creating their own original ideas. I also was intrigued by the 5 minutes at the start of class spent in silence. I have spent the summer wondering how I would change the start of class and had consider a minute of silence."
- "Keep discussing this as a group--Betsy's got some GREAT ideas! We need more discussion and more sharing of ideas, rubrics, examples of assignments, etc. "
- "Keep the readings and discussions going!!!!"
