Brainstorm!
Thanks to all who came to Monday's Quarterly Instruction Roundtable. We had a great session about brainstorming! Kathleen Collins kickstarted the discussion by leading the group through a brainstorming session & also shared some interesting tips on idea generation from the Thinkertoys book. Personally, I cannot wait to try the paper airplane exercise...
Step 1: Have students write a topic idea on sheets of paper;
Step 2: Make the sheets of paper into airplanes;
Step 3: Students sail their ideas around the classroom;
Step 4: Each student then collects an airplane, adds an idea to the sheet, refolds & resails;
Step 5: Repeat as necessary. At the end of the exercise, everyone has a list of several ideas.
For those of you who might've missed this great discussion, fear not! There will be a roundtable at the end of winter quarter, as well.
