Double Entry Journal # 10-Sewing the Seeds for a more Creative Society

Quote:

"Sucess is based on not only what you know or how much you know,but on your ability to think and act creatively".

Reason:

I chose this quote because I absolutely agree with this quote. For one thing, you can know a lot of stuff. The thing is you may know it but how much do you remember down the road. Like taking a test; you know all the information, but you will forget it after you take the test. By putting work out there that is very creative, that will show people that you will be able to come up with ideas outside of school. By becomeing a creative teacher; than you can teach your students how to come up with creative ideas, and put those ideas in the real world. Being creative is awesome, and more people are becomeing creative because that is what society wants now a days.

I chose this video because it shows that young children know how to use scratch to create games and different things in a creative way. I chose this because it talks about scratch in the article I read. Using scratch helps students come up with ideas about different things. Scratch is a wonderful tool to use, and it should be used throughout the schools.
