Once again, this week we were asked to present the IWB activities..
I was afraid this time around..Prof. Raja Maznah had mentioned that she would randomly choose anyone from us to present our own built material..Luckily, the presentations was done just like the other class..Meaning a representative from one group=)huhu..That's more what I like..-happy(^^,)
From my observations, one more important element that should be considered by all of us was CREATIVITY..
According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia creativity is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. An alternative conception of creativity is that it is simply the act of making something new..
Therefore, I would say that creativity is divergent thought.. Creativity will differentiate one's work with the others..Besides, I believed that creativity is concerned with ORIGINALITY and APPROPRIATENESS..
So, how to foster the individual creativity namely producing IWB activities?

- Establishing purpose and intention
- Building basic skills
- Encouraging acquisitions of domain-specific knowledge
- Stimulating and rewarding curiosity and exploration
- Building motivation, especially internal motivation
- Encouraging confidence and a willingness to take risks
- Focusing on mastery and self-competition
- Promoting supportable beliefs about creativity
- Providing opportunities for choice and discovery
- Developing self-management (metacognitive skills)
- Teaching techniques and strategies for facilitating creative performance
- Providing balance

Hopefully these techniques will help all of us to develop our own creativity.. Not to forget the Originality and Appropriateness in building the IWB materials..
Best Wishes from me=)
