Mod 3 May 11 reflections. I am torn between the need for the student to be able to use and manage information that they find or generate and the artistic act of creativity. Most students will be creative left to their own or with little outside prodding. The addition of technology use ads another dimension to creative act. The new tech skills can be used by the students and teacher to elaborate, refine, analyze and evaluate their performance. Including Creative activities in any curriculum is a good way to address higher order thinking skills in the group or individual. Using the computer to compare works of art in order to refine likes and dislikes can also provide a way to express and or communicate their feelings in a meaningful way. The assessment of skills learned could take the form of projects, works of art , or papers responding to the problem presented to the students. Creativity is tough to measure unless you take a summative approach.
