Thanks Peter, really looking forward to the shows, they should be great. Next we will have to organise a tour to Canada. Have you read any Cormac McCarthy (the author the show is based on)?

I definitely agree… reflection is a critical step in the creative process and one which works best with greater external input. I see the refection template as being a fantastically powerful tool to support this process and one which allows students to see, learn and teach to and from others. As Kynan said, it definitely removes the need for me to be the expert and really works to foster a culture of creativity and community.

I now see this effect across my entire classroom, one where students readily jump up to help each other in all areas of their work and will seek out the advice of other students before coming to me. The process removes the stigma of not knowing and recognises the power of collaboration.

We took a group to Quantum, but many were basic beginners, some were experienced and have continued. I want to encourage it more and this could be a way?

Hi Celia
Yeah that is the ultimate idea – to open the feedback channels so that ideas can flow in from every source.
Are your students working in Minecraft?

Great stuff,
Johnson’s “Where good ideas come from?” video really highlighted the contribution of other people on our own creativity and this project is a great translation of that. I am wondering if you would like feedback for your students from other Minecrafters from another school? Could they contribute in any way?
Let me know .
