I
read several articles talking about different titles regarding curiosity,
creativity, the case of curiosity, technology and curiosity, psychology and
curiosity. I enjoyed going over these articles and every writer has his own
style talking about each title, but all of them agree on the idea of curiosity
is a must in our life especially in the field of education. Once you are
curious you can end up with the best choice ever to be implemented in our daily
and professional life. What impresses me is the content of each article and the
way of each writer talking about curiosity in his won prospective.
The
video by Susan Engel ( The Hungry Mind: The Origins of Curiosity ). I strongly
believe that this title attracts everybody to read and learn a new idea on
curiosity. This video gives me a big chance and motive to keep on teaching and
developing my students with enthusiasm. The lady was telling the whole world
and all the educators, teachers and students that we should all be creative and
curiosity in our life.
I
picture ever article and I try to relate the ideas in each article to any daily
life and daily working experience. Every minute I live with books, students,
coworkers and educators, I remember the barriers I face and the suggested solutions
either by me or by other people surrounding me then the idea of curiosity come
up!
Before
this course I used curiosity but I didn’t use the same word. I use the word
questioning and application. I use the words; before and after the teaching
periods. I ask a lot of questions before and after class. I love to use these
techniques. This is the real meaning of curiosity and creativity.
I do
learn a lot from the participant in the first week in this course. They posted
great ideas regarding curiosity and creativity especially when they are related
to creativity with the children and student in the early stage.
I am
also fascinated with some question that some participant raised in the online
discussion and on the Canvas discussion. I like the idea of sharing thoughts
and the continuous positive discussion with each other. By this technique we
apply curiosity and creativity during our first week effectively. We meet hungry
minds and hungry teachers. I think teachers should feel hungry every time to
fuel their mind every second with the best and suitable resources and materials
that help the students.
