Great reference @AshaRaoRMIT So important for us to cite this as documentation from economists, amplifying what we as educators have always know. #PrimarySTEMchat

@CheriSterman A1: creativity is creating new ideas or strategies and planning it out from a new perspective. #PrimarySTEMchat
@rachaellehr @CheriSterman So sorry I missed it! Will be catching up on #PrimarySTEMchat later!
#PrimarySTEMchat I designed and made this quilt to tell the story of the romance of my sister and (now) BiL! The border blocks were signed by guests at their wedding but I didn’t finish the quilt until their 10th anniversary 😳😂 I share my projects with Ss as encouragement
Thank you for sharing your Thought Leadership with #PrimarySTEMchat
Thanks for contributing to #PrimarySTEMchat @thammerlund Love learning from/following you! Stay connected to continue the conversations.
Thanks for joining #PrimarySTEMchat @marianozuk Great sharing ideas re: Creativity & STEM
I think I have missed the Thank you tweet! So here I go: Thank you @CheriSterman for a truly fascinating #PrimarySTEMchat I have never had so many answers I wished to share And so much more I gathered too!
Is it really over? @rachaellehr Sorry for rushing the questions. Great creative approach seeing how everyone went back to reflect on & elaborate responses to Qs posted in first half. Flexible, adaptable = creative mindset. Thanks for opp to facilitate. #PrimarySTEMchat
Agree. Asking the question helps people reflect and starts to elevate the imagination aspect (which has been undervalued). #PrimarySTEMchat
#PrimarySTEMchat so many options! We’ve added drawing and crafts to this since the photo was taken!
@emilyemmaross What a great idea, Emma. Showing rather than saying! #PrimarySTEMchat
@CheriSterman A5 Interesting idea. I think both are important. You can imagine anything you like but if you actually want to design, create, etc what you have imagined, you do need knowledge. (Thinking of my 8yo right now)!! #PrimarySTEMchat
@CheriSterman Here are some suggestions from @cass_lowry #PrimarySTEMchat
@dmsroy @CheriSterman Excellent. Highlights the need for creativity across the curriculum to ensure quality teaching! Creativity is not just for some classes, but for all academic progress. Thanks. #PrimarySTEMchat
This notion of The Other IQ: Imagination Quotient is something we came up with a few years ago to amplify the point that Imagination is more important than knowledges, tests, grades, etc. Enjoy the playful quiz. #PrimarySTEMchat
@diggers27 This sounds awesome! Kind of like Passion Projects or Genius #PrimarySTEMChat
@CheriSterman I was JUST thinking about how creativity is reflected in state/national curriculum. It is hard to convince colleagues and communities of the importance when it is hidden under headings that some see as separate silos (or worse, less important separate silos). #PrimarySTEMchat
Without imagination knowledge doesn’t exist! Humans have created the ability to imagine by creating languages & discourses to describe things that currently aren’t! Now we have new discourses like social media which has its own new ways of describing things! #PrimarySTEMchat
@CheriSterman One thing I have learnt from research —- always find a document to cite. Just because you know it doesn’t give it enough weight! #PrimarySTEMchat
So glad you brought Play into the conversation @MarilynFleer Again, Einstein says it best! #PrimarySTEMchat
@CheriSterman A6 I had not heard of the Imagination Quotient. This sounds so much better than the other IQ. For Ss to be creative, they need imagination, And that needs to be nurtured in the family. #PrimarySTEMchat
@rachaellehr trying to speed read the #PrimarySTEMchat posts now! lots to think about ... and respond to ... as always!!
@CheriSterman A5 Without imagination, knowledge is dry. I love history and all the dates, because my imagination runs wild with all the scenes of what could have happened. #PrimarySTEMchat
Beautiful insight @AshaRaoRMIT It is the uncertainty and exploring the unknown that makes research so creative and compelling! #PrimarySTEMchat
@diggers27 Feel free to continue the we did #PrimarySTEMChat on double speed tonight ;)
Great response @yeates_mark Glad to see you at #PrimarySTEMchat
@diggers27 Missed you! Later today you can post a creative pic of your quilts and add some color to our #PrimarySTEMchat with your own creativity! See you soon!
Great reference @AshaRaoRMIT So important for us to cite this as documentation from economists, amplifying what we as educators have always know. #PrimarySTEMchat
Creativity = New to me & done by me using a skill or a combination of skills! A output of some kind! #PrimarySTEMChat
@CheriSterman I tell my students: It is hard, but, oh, so rewarding. Nothing comes close. But you have to love uncertainty to love research. #PrimarySTEMchat
