Creativity!
So this video was specifically on teachers bringing creativity into the classrooms and honestly it was one of the most interesting videos I have ever watched in my life! Many examples that were given were music based classes from all around the world; I loved how they incorporated so many different cultures into the video and expressed different methods of creativity for each. The first video was very musically inclined. I was incredibly impressed by the amount of musical content provided in the video. I know one of the examples was an advanced music program in Laos and they sounded incredible for as young as they were; also they put together a choral piece for visitors in three days...I have a small background in music and speaking from experience that is quite complex! Samuel Wright, who is a music teacher, spoke in the second video about coding and honestly the way he incorporates creativity in his music class is so interesting! Not only does he use technology but he has them use their bodies as well such as dancing and clapping which is mimicked from other cultures. In order to have an attentive class, now-in-days, creativity is so important. Students have such a high stimulus intake that it is difficult to keep up with their demands, but it is not totally impossible. EME2040 has moved from something that is good to know, to something that is necessary to know in order to keep your class from sleeping. As technology progresses, teachers must be able to follow along with it in order to provide a suitable learning experience for their pupils.
