SUMMARY:Ideate\, Brainstorm\, Create: Let's Get Imaginative!
DESCRIPTION:Creative thinking is a muscle that is not often flexed or developed\, so this interactive kick-off event will guide you through the lessons and get you to try out some creative thinking yourself. Topics covered include: \n-Sentence Starters\n-The Idea Box\n-Forced Connections\n-Improv for Ideating\n-How to Make Decisions \nThe Creative Education Foundation has launched a 6 video series for quick activities to help your students brainstorm ideas\, ideate and generate new content\, and think creatively. This event will guide you through these resources for us in your own classroom. \nThis workshop shows you the basis for all deliberate creativity and innovation\, and some guidelines to help you harness that.  During this time they will engage you in activities that you can use immediately with your students.  You will also be introduced to some resources that you can go to time and time again to help your students (or yourself) anytime either of you are stuck. \nRegister for the Event
