Inventiveness

Inventiveness is one of the most important skills that students can have in the 21st Century.  Kids are already showing this creativeness with bands, Youtube, and building websites. And when we are living in a constantly changing world, inventiveness is an important skill to have.  But how can teachers promote inventiveness and creativity in the classroom.  One way for teachers to allow creative development in students is to make the classroom a creative environment.  But classrooms have been a hindrance to creative development because of "busy-work".  Teachers need to find a way for students to use their inventiveness; they need to have projects, papers, and other classroom activities that help students use creativeness and inventiveness.
