A6 My personal goal to foster creativity is to get my own 7th grdr to find something he wants to learn about at home. Something he finds interesting & is engaged in. It's been a struggle. Because we are at home for spring break...technology's going to play a HUGE role #NoVAedChat

A4 a challenge w trying to combine tech & creativity is changing the general mindset about tech. It should be a tool for creation. Learning can be fun & it's ok to give Ss creative ways to express themselves & show their learning...not just worksheet substitutes #NOVAedchat
