This week you will meet with your new groups to select your favorite topic to "research".
One person each week will write a summary of the group discussion each week. You will post a reply to this post and share your team topic and something about your group.

Rebekah, Dow & Jen = Team Our Plato is Fullo (Thanks to Rebekah for our team name reflecting a hybrid of our hectic schedules, critical thinking, and a little spanish flair!)
Our topic is the Questioning Model, also known as the Integrated Curriculum Model out of William and Mary College. It is a model of classroom instruction designed towards gifted learning styles to promote critical thinking.
Here is a video about the importance of critical thinking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OLPL5p0fMg
This week we discussed in our group about whether creativity is still valid if it doesn't seem to have a point. Creativity should relate to the learner's interests.
Nicolle, Spencer, Eric Group Name: Flourishtivity, a spontaneous decision for our group name, describing the flourishing creativity we hope to promote in our classrooms!
Our team's topic is Teresa Amabile's model for creativity to flourish. Amabile's study of creativity in the workplace resulted in her theory of the factors that promote creativity. Three important elements are domain relevant skills, creativity-relevant skills, and task motivation.
This week's discussion of what was creative about the shell video touched on creativity-relevant skills. The creators of the video were able to imagine the perspective of the shell, which demonstrates their creative skills.
The video below is a student-made video illustrating intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation.
