1. How have your decisions in the process been an
example of teacher creativity?
a. My decisions in this process have been an example of teacher creativity in many ways. One way I used my creativity is coming up with a lesson that incorporates technology, pedagogy, and content. Coming up with something that will cross all of these and help students is a challenging feat, that needs a lot of creativity. On the SAMR scale, the higher you get, the more creativity it requires. Another way I used teacher creativity, is deciding that the students will make the goods that they are going to buy and sell. This will not only help students grasp the concept more, but it will allow students to express their creative side.
2. How is the lesson Novel, Effective & Whole?
a. This lesson is novel, because it presents price and what buying and selling goods looks like in a new way. It’s effective, because it is very hands on and the students are more likely to understand the distinction of buying verses selling goods, if they are actively participating in the learning process. It is whole, because this activity has the ability for multiple levels of differentiation to make sure all students understand what’s happening.
3. How have your decisions in the process been an example of teacher as a designer?
a. My decisions in this process have been an example as a teacher being the designer. I’m making the decisions on what to teach, how to teach it, and what technology to use. I designed this lesson from start to finish, so I got to make the decisions on what I thought would be best for my “students”.
