3 apps to spark creativity on your interactive display
Creating reigns at the top of Bloom’s Taxonomy, and is a challenging, but highly sought after set of skills by Gen Z youth across the globe. During lockdowns, remote learning, and pandemic isolation, students have turned to technology, music, and entertainment to fuel their imaginations and provide deeper connections.
Why is creating at the top of the hierarchical pyramid, and how do we, as teachers, foster opportunities to spark creativity and imagination?
Jonathan E., from Medium, articulates how creating is a learned approach that combines other elements of Bloom’s learning pyramid. It’s vital that as teachers, we include opportunities for daily practice into our lessons.
According to Jonathan:
…the foundation of creating is education!
