Reflection:
Promoting creativity is an important part of education because once you have the students at the point where they can produce creative assignments then you have the ultimate level of understanding. However it is up to the teacher to introduce them to the creative and innovative thinking by providing it within their lessons. Teachers have to promote a lot of collaboration and give the students the freedom to create projects, assignments and even questions. This class has forced us all to be creative by giving us the tools but not exactly dictating how we must use them. My artifacts are tools that promote collaboration.

future Learning Goal:
In the future I hope to find ways to engage my students instead of entertaining them. I believe that collaborative assignments work so I will continue to utilize them.
