Download or read book Hacking Creativity written by Nik Peachey and published by PeacheyPublications Ltd. This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for English language teachers who want to foster their own and their students' creative skills through innovative and engaging tasks and activities. Creativity has a key role in language learning and language use. The ability to be creative is essential for the spontaneous production of language during conversation, but too often the language practice activities used in the classroom require little imagination or personalisation from the students. The activities and exercises in this book are designed to address this problem by giving students the stimulation and opportunity to unlock their imagination and engage with language at a deeper and more personal level. The book is in two sections. The first part looks at a range of teaching techniques that you can use in any lesson to help develop your students' creativity. It also includes some suggestions and easy exercises for applying these in the classroom. The second part is a collection of 30 structured activities. These include step by step instructions as well as example digital materials that you can use in the classroom. The example materials have been designed so that you can use them on any digital device with an internet connection. Example: http://bit.ly/hackingcreativity7 I hope you and your students will find this book an enjoyable and useful accompaniment for your everyday teaching.

Costa and Bena Kallick present this collection of stories by educators around the world who have successfully implemented the habits in their day-to-day teaching in K-12 classrooms. The collective wisdom and experience of these thoughtful practitioners provide readers with insight into the transdisciplinary nature of the 16 Habits of Mind—intelligent behaviors that lead to success in school and the larger world—as well as model lessons and suggestions for weaving the habits into daily instruction in language arts, music, physical education, social studies, math, foreign language, and other content areas.

As in all their books on the Habits of Mind, Costa and Kallick have a broad and worthwhile goal in mind. As they say in the concluding chapter of this volume, "If we want a future that is much more thoughtful, vastly more cooperative, greatly more compassionate, and a whole lot more loving, then we have to invent it. That future is in our homes, schools, and classrooms today. The Habits of Mind are the tools we all can use to invent our desired vision of the future."

Book excerpt: This book contains an evidence-based pedagogic guide to enable any motivated teaching/training professional to be able to teach effectively and creatively. It firstly summarises the extensive research field on human psychological functioning relating to learning and how this can be fully utilised in the design and facilitation of quality learning experiences. It then demonstrates what creativity actually 'looks like' in terms of teaching practices, modelling the underpinning processes of creative learning design and how to apply these in lesson planning. The book, having established an evidence-based and pedagogically driven approach to creative learning design, extensively focuses on key challenges facing teaching professionals today. These include utilising information technologies in blended learning formats, differentiating instruction, and developing self-directed learners who can think well. The main purpose of the book is to demystify what it means to teach creatively, explicitly demonstrating the principles of good pedagogic design and communication strategies that underpin such activity.
