'purist' in your approach, adapt it! @tesPrimary @nightzookeeper everyone is creative, maybe not in equal measure. You can allow 'space' and opportunities to encourage #ukedchat People are creative in different ways.

RT @ufasarah: @HandTwin5 the innovation unit's project based learning guide is really good http://t.co/6Unv4Qob #ukedchat @raff31 You can tell which teachers naturally are creative.

creativity is thinking differently from others #ukedchat I've been amazed by the breadth and scope of work produced when we have done thise. (2/2) #ukedchat RT @andyhampton: #ukedchat there is something slightly anarchic about creativity which brings out the maverick in me and that's what I enjoy. RT @outdooradventu1: Surely there needs to be a balance between creative thinking and structured thinking #ukedchat Does anyone know of any Primary Schools that have purchased/looking at/trialling iPads for staff and students? #ipaded #ukedchat #ukedchat anyone care to explain the difference between being creative and thinking creatively? @mberry Yes a huge conflict and v hard at all ages to risk not preparing for exams. How sad! #ukedchat Is it possible to be creative in all areas of the curriculum? Any areas that are particularly suited? #ukedchat RT @OhLottie: A simple way to foster creativity is to give chn complete control of the mode of output of their work. (1/2) #ukedchat #ukedchat creativity comes from explaining things and giving children opportunity to play @literacylender #ukedchat why teach a 'boring' topic in a new way - why not be 'creative' and teach something differnt, or let chn choose? @literacylender My favourite trick is to tell students this is a terrible presentation. Could they fix it for a newbie teacher... #ukedchat @Starshine_Music Yes I think "creative" teachers can get overexcited about their own ideas and suck all the air out #ukedchat @ufasarah agreed, allows u to break the rules, push boundaries and think outside the box and take a risk #ukedchat @SwayGrantham I think it would be best in lots of professions. Mistakes *will* happen. What happens afterwards is up to us. #ukedchat Using #solo helps creative thinking as the S move towards deeper understanding previous work on my blog http://t.co/Z1dOsWej #ukedchat

@nightzookeeper Scaffolding is an important step on the journey to being an independent and creative learner #ukedchat Using #mantleoftheexpert promotes creativity,collaboration,decision making and reasoning skills, AND provides contexts 4 learning #ukedchat @mberry #ukedchat I think some forms of creativity can encourage passing exams. I passed my biology by writing songs on the topics! #ukedchat creativity comes if the children have total input and creative control! @mberry #ukedchat I think you can build creative thinking into the topics to improve exam results gives confidence when given tricky q's @Educationchat It is tricky. In my NQT year had students who attended creative writing "master class" and lost spark #ukedchat #ukedchat Is independent learning the same as creative learning? #ukedchat I think this is our ingest challenge in the classroom @mberry @mikallaane Absolutely.I find that openended questions really push students to think deeply.Peer reviews in this way can also help #ukedchat #ukedchat Also depends on KeyStage-Foundation kids might try Reggio approach,KS1 P4C ,KS2 De Bono Hats & KS3/4 Choice!

@njpiercy #ukedchat tend to agree, a good task adds depth to knowledge and thinking - may depend on age and subject? RT @andyhampton: #ukedchat there is something slightly anarchic about creativity which brings out the maverick in me and that's what I enjoy. Share your teaching strategies for developing children's creative/thinking skills http://t.co/SkbovH1p #ukedchat #edchat #ukedchat creativity comes from the children not being afraid to experiment and get things wrong. RT @mister_jim: #ukedchat creativity comes from explaining things and giving children opportunity to play @JazzieDe @mikeatedji Agree. I think some are more creative than most, but every student has some degree of creative thinking. #ukedchat @Educationchat yes because it will also mean different things to different people. Different agendas etc. #ukedchat @mberry there shouldn't be, but most take the easy route, 'just learn this' 'just know this' 'we'll do some sample exam questions' #ukedchat #ukedchat if boring is the opposite of creative is it all relative? #ukedchat publishing work, and letting students know it will be often makes for better more creative work... #ukedchat creative thinking is graded in Art, Technology and I believe English . Read #phillbeadles dancing through architecture RT @mister_jim: #ukedchat creativity comes from explaining things and giving children opportunity to play @MrWickensPE they love them and defo allow you to be more creative! Made instruction manuals this week! #ukedchat @eslweb #ukedchat - what if they weren't given a brief?

@JazzieDe two schools ago we took the line of not really bothering about the SATs and got brilliant results.

Colditz prison was great for creativity #ukedchat @mikeatedji @rashush2 #ukedchat if teacher is creative children may be intimidated or choose not to contribute - back to ground work. @Starshine_Music @rashush2 #ukedchat Sorry called away brieflyYes in answer to yr Q... RT @njpiercy: Using collaborative thinking creates better thinking, students choosing how to manage learning and present ideas #ukedchat Fear of failure hinders creativity. I sometimes start a maths lesson with "today everyone has to get something wrong". #ukedchat @nightzookeeper I think it is.

@AliceBakesCakes Couldn't agree more. Creativity has to be real and visible not just talked about. Risks, mistakes & all. #ukedchat #ukedchat With all the emphasis on teaching quality is it time to make quality CPD an entitlement for all teachers. @Kezmerrelda @nightzookeeper Scaffolding is really important and to begin with it maybe options rather than free choice. #ukedchat Constraints are important for creative thinking, more than freedom... #ukedchat NO! RT @ielserafy: this is quite true.But isn't it important to maintain the image of the teacher being flawless in their subject? #ukedchat @kvnmcl but how do we scaffold the transition, I feel our kids have never made any decisions and would be completely lost! #ukedchat @kvnmcl was just going to quote you! #ukedchat Role play areas an under used resource in ks2 for creative thinking #ukedchat RT @ielserafy: @mikeatedji I think the idea is to get the students to start experimenting #ukedchat @Starshine_Music @GeorgeEBlack they can!

#ukedchat http://t.co/9Xj6A92x it's american but no reason why a similar song couldnt be created for kings and queens for example Is Creativity domain and subject specific or is it a generic skill/behaviour? #ukedchat "And then what?", "But why is it like that?", etc. Are all questions that shouldn't be shot down because they're not in the exam. #ukedchat @ecarsontc Reception: "I'm going to be a ......."

@njpiercy difficult to answer/ i can think of examples of both working depends how brave i feel . #ukedchat Creativity projects: Create a display to teach about.... #ukedchat How can we help those students that constantly say I cant think of anything? #ukedchat @OhLottie @samgolia @OhLottie @nightzookeeper #ukedchat try to avoid questions that begin with who, what etc. Makes a huge difference Saw this on #ukedchat c'mon #loveld Build a tower, build a team: Tom Wujec on http://t.co/9Y3rL2Dt http://t.co/MQB6FWtr via @wordpressdotcom @davidhunter One time, before the big fences went up, we "escaped" from school by climbing the fence at the bottom of our field #ukedchat @Ste_kins @kezmerrelda @mrpeel haha quite! ;) #ukedchat Last 5 minutes of #ukedchat. Final thoughts? RT @njpiercy: #ukedchat does the behaviour of students hamper creativity in classrooms? > Does lack of creativity cause behaviour problems? If you truly want kids to be creative, don't teach them WHAT the answer is. Show them HOW and watch them get there themselves. #ukedchat @tesPrimary #ukedchat depends on the schools approach! ks2 is fill of creative learning @havergalschool @nightzookeeper Think this could work at all ages & stages. Would love to see something like this in universities too. Could work. #ukedchat #ukedchat http://t.co/8q9gydUu Hip-Hop & Shakespeare? Linked before but it's still relevant IMHO. The company does quite a lot of good work RT @tesPrimary: Creativity seems rife within EYFS & KS1, but more sporadic once in KS2? #ukedchat @mikeatedji @Ste_kins did it with fastest animals. Very interesting results #ukedchat :) Creativity projects: Create a biome in a box #ukedchat #geographyteacher Used Google form for baseline quiz then used

Flubaroo to mark it and send results to pupils. Excellent #asechat #ukedchat @OhLottie @nightzookeeper #ukedchat and ask questions you don't know the answers to @OhLottie @nightzookeeper #ukedchat questioning at the heart! Eradicate 'guess what's in my head' style which is still lingering! #Scratch masterclass video. Falling ball (now with better sound). http://t.co/gGN6STZv #ictcurric #ukedchat RT @mikeatedji: @Ste_kins #ukedchat I love the instruction "Rank these" and leave it to pupils to sort it out, whatever it isHighly creative responses! #ukedchat student evaluation encourages them to critique their work and improve using other peoples ideas @jobadge @ea_holmes #ukedchat I'm the opposite but I could write you a song about maths. In fact one if our boys is working on one.. @nightzookeeper Choose a topic and let the children run with it #ukedchat RT @ecarsontc: #ukedchat children are NATURALLY creative. It is classrooms & school culture that squashes it in younger kids I have used riddles to prompt creative responses from children - important not to share the actual answer and reward the creative #ukedchat RT @ecarsontc: #UKEdChat we shldnt b asking how to encourage creativity in kids but how to we stop teachers from suppressing it in them #ukedchat last thought: creativity can inspire children to succeed @raisechildrens LOL! #ukedchat RT @ecarsontc: Am loving the simultaneous #tmclevedon & #ukedchat @rashush2 If a student is interested, they will definitely listen and it will distract them from causing trouble...#ukedchat #ukedchat Free creative thinking resource http://t.co/ZBBDnNOB @ielserafy but on a really good day it works the other way round too. #ukedchat

#ukedchat last thought creativity can inspire teacher to achieve greatness @nightzookeeper @samgolia Try giving them options at first. Same goes for direct questioning: http://t.co/TdBpLzwM #ukedchat @raff31 haha. Them were the days. When I was at school the outfielders in rounders stood on the road outside the gates :o .#ukedchat #Scratch masterclass video. Moving target (now with better sound). http://t.co/IVjOsfBI #ictcurric #ukedchat @Kezmerrelda @grumpysheepy @Ste_kins bloody teachers! #ukedchat #ukedchat for KS4 pupils sometimes seem to think they know it all, thus hampering creativity. If only they did! #ukedchat creativity in schools is about allowing the kids enough space to work things out for themselves, teacher should enable and guide It wouldn't be #ukedchat if I didn't ask how we can teach and learn education for living sustainably in a creative manner... #ukedchat last thought: most of all, creativity benefits all and is FUN!!! Maybe the 4 walls of the classroom stifle creativity #ukedchat RT @tesPrimary: Creativity seems rife within EYFS & KS1, but more sporadic once in KS2? #ukedchat #ukedchat creativity needs to be practiced in every aspect of life, this is what the chn should be taught. @mberry Not testing the life out of them by age 11. Not making them feel like failures. More likely to try new things then. #ukedchat RT @kreoco: #ukedchat Free creative thinking resource http://t.co/ZBBDnNOB @thought_weavers Great to hear #ukedchat RT @ecarsontc: #ukedchat children are NATURALLY creative. It is classrooms & school culture that squashes it in younger kids #ukedchat I love that a creative outlook can completely change the shape of an initial idea and send self esteem and confidence sky high. last thought reflection and collaboration = creativity

#ukedchat @nightzookeeper @OhLottie @samgolia trouble is creativity doesn't happen at a set time. It is rather a law unto itself! #ukedchat Is it just me or has this hour gone in a flash? #ukedchat RT @ecarsontc: #UKEdChat we shldnt b asking how to encourage creativity in kids but how to we stop teachers from suppressing it in them #ukedchat I do think pupils should have much greater say in big things, like their learning spaces @MrG_ICT @njpiercy I think structure is key. It gives s. confidence to exercise creativity, and creates behavioural boundaries too #ukedchat @OhLottie @nightzookeeper #ukedchat a teacher needs to plan key q's RT @raisechildrens: #ukedchat I love that a creative outlook can completely change the shape of an initial idea and send self esteem and confidence sky high. @MrG_ICT Sounds great... how did you launch this with them? Are there parameters at all or was it pick anything? #ukedchat #ukedchat fun one tonight - time to wander Cheerio! @EA_Holmes Have a look at this blog that came out of one I did recently with @Cherise_Duxbury http://t.co/cuOP51Gc #ukedchat #ukedchat multiple intelligences. If they feel success in areas personal to them they are more likely to take risks :) RT @davidhunter: #ukedchat multiple intelligences. If they feel success in areas personal to them they are more likely to take risks :) @Starshine_Music definitely not just you! #ukedchat @outdooradventu1: last thought reflection and collaboration = creativity #ukedchat >> certainly a BIG part of it @SheliBB @OhLottie @nightzookeeper #ukedchat #mantleoftheexpert ;) @MrG_ICT #ukedchat agree balanc to be had try to build starter activities to encourage imagination often turn intowhole less eg video or pic @dan_bowen @nightzookeeper They do, especially

at first. It's part of our planning. #ukedchat @jobadge Yes I think that comes into it. Certainly does for me. A shame in a way as more creative approaches may boost confidence #ukedchat RT @Cottiss77: Used Google form for baseline quiz then used Flubaroo to mark it and send results to pupils. Excellent #asechat #ukedchat It is an educators roles to stoke the fires of creativity & not to fan them out with meaningless sheets of paper & tests. #ukedchat @tesPrimary Do we restrict creativity in older students by having more rules and less trust in learning and school generally? #ukedchat Am off now to think of something creative to do tomorrow. #knackeredafterfooty #ukedchat @raisechildrens yes! The less 'academic' children can shine during #mantleoftheexpert lessons #ukedchat @ecarsontc Not saying we shouldn't test or that it's not useful. Could do without SATs hoop-jumping and labelling children tho. #ukedchat After reading through #ukedchat, I'm so lucky that I teach my subject. #lovingDT fun inspiring #ukedchat tonight. Just what I needed before my next teaching placement :-) My inspiration for creativity comes from my PLN. RT @nizlamb: Student driven learning, slow down the pace and encourage failure. Then you will develop creativity in the classroom #ukedchat Creative idea: Allow students to design their own homework #ukedchat If you had to put what you do on a business card, would you describe yourself as 'Teacher' or something else? #ukedchat It's 9pm & #ukedchat must close again. A huge thanks to @nightzookeeper for hosting his 1st chat. Archive will be at http://t.co/imZHXWGH
