Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way. - Edward De Bono
ANIMATION STATION
Animation Station is about finding new ways to let students get creative about writing and projects. Not everything needs to be in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. There is a time and place for that but it gets boring. Students get bored, those who are higher achieving will write because they want to get a good grade unfortunately not all students are motivated by grades. Many students need a different way of expressing their ideas and Through technology they are able to find some way that will motivate them if allowed. As teachers we need to get out of our comfort zone in order for students to get into theirs. Allow students to take the reigns and let them be creative!
