Love your approach! Engaging passive learners can be a challenge, but I try to involve them by assigning roles within group work, offering choices in how they present their work, and starting with low-risk tasks to build confidence. are also great for shy students..

Thank you for sharing your inspiring strategies! I love how you're combining creativity with sustainability through recycled materials. It's a brilliant way to teach both innovation and environmental responsibility. Using tools like Canva also adds a modern touch that students really enjoy. I’ve seen a similar boost in engagement when students feel their ideas and work have real value. Looking forward to exchanging more ideas with you.

By incorporating hands-on activities with recycled materials, we can encourage students to develop creativity and problem-solving skills through self-directed projects.

@KHAN0e897aa3a22 that's good

Hi!
Creativity in the classroom plays a vital role in nurturing young innovators. As a teacher, I cultivate innovation by encouraging students to ask questions, think critically, and explore different ways to solve problems. I create a supportive environment where students feel safe to express their ideas without fear of being wrong. Through project-based learning, hands-on activities, and integration of STEAM subjects, I help them connect knowledge with real-life situations. I also give students the freedom to choose how they want to present their learning, which boosts their confidence and ownership. By focusing on the learning process rather than just the final result, and promoting a growth mindset, I guide my students to become creative thinkers and lifelong learners.

Great to connect with fellow educators passionate about nurturing creativity! Your recycled materials project sounds incredibly engaging and a fantastic way to blend hands-on learning with creative problem-solving. In my classroom, project-based learning has been a powerful tool for fostering these skills. Seeing students tackle real-world challenges and develop their own solutions, often incorporating elements of design thinking, is truly rewarding. Tools like Canva also help them visually express their innovative ideas.
I've definitely observed a significant increase in student engagement when we incorporate these creative approaches. They become more invested in the learning process and take greater ownership of their projects. I'm so curious to hear more about the specific musical instruments and science models your students created! What were some of the most imaginative solutions they came up with? Let's continue sharing our experiences!

@MARIY0b647d9a23 we can add art, music and real-world projects in our lessons

I promote creative thinking by giving tasks to students where they can use their own ideas. I ask questions that make them think and solve problems in groups. I also use fun
activities. This helps them think in different ways and find smart solutions.

@MARIY0b647d9a23 your idea was very nice of using waste materials..
There are some ways we can enhance critical thinking in students.

We can make their thinking more visible by ecouraging students to:

•Explain their reasoning out loud.

•Use graphic organizers (e.g., mind maps, flowcharts).

•Keep a “thinking journal” to reflect on ideas, questions, and solutions.

@DEXTE176e4f8265 Good question miss.. We can engage passive learners.

Give students a moment to think alone.
Then, discuss with a partner before sharing with the group.Builds confidence and prepares them to speak publicly.
