 Creativity: 

• Recently I came across a blog by George Couros.  I liked his post on 4 Digital Habits that Will Make You More Creative.  As you know part of our Definition of Learning includes a focus on creativity.  Take a look and see if any of George’s ideas are applicable to your class.

Several teachers have been working on large scale projects which require some prior planning.  For example, video projects, presentations with tech or any number of other assignments.  Students can benefit from having a tool to preplan or Map their ideas.  This is not a new idea however Gliffy is a tool I recently tried out.  It is very simple.  No account needed, however if you want to save your chart you will need to create an account – it is FREE. You can drag and drop shapes, arrows, etc and then type right on top of the image.  You can also use your own images.  Building flow charts has never been easier!  Give Gliffy – the MindMapping Tool a try!
