What the future holds (11A)

Questions:

1.  If a college student is bored, does this mean they have a higher rate of being creative?
2. What are a few ways that we can promote creativity within kids today and how would this affect them in their future?
3. If a student is not creative, does this mean you are not as smart as them?
4. Does creativity come from the parents of the children?

The question that I would like to answer is number 3.  I feel that there are many ways that we can improve creativity in students especially the young ones.  Therefore, in the future everything can be better.  I feel that in todays age, young students should be working on their creative thinking.  Not every student will be on the same level of critical thinking and how creative they really are, so they can always have a test to anticipate where the kids stand in their critical thinking.  Me as a college student, should know the basics of how to use a computer.  I am currently in a computer class here in my first semester and I am facing challenges with how to use technology.  Technology is never actually going to change, some students can be really creative with computers and others just don't find it as easy.  We can have certain classes based on how well students work with computers so kids don't have to struggle if they are having trouble with technology.

I feel like in todays age, teachers can challenge the small students more and can evaluate how creative the kids are.  They can have them work in groups and see which students are doing the most work and which ones are having trouble.  Working in groups can be a good or bad thing.  If students are working in a group, it is good because they can learn from one another.  If a student is in a a group and not participating with any of the material then it sometimes can be a bad thing.  Some students prefer to work independently and that's perfectly fine.

You can also improve creativity by having the kids work alone and see what ideas they come up with from the assignment the teacher assigns.  It is a good to work by yourself sometimes because you keep your thoughts to yourself and then write them down.  It also isn't as distracting rather than working in a 4 or 5 group of kids.  Being creative comes from how flexible you are with the new materials.  We don't know what the future may hold for the kids, but I know that we will improve on creativity and the kids will be more creative than ever.
