Techy Terms Tuesday #5

Welcome to the fifth edition of Techy Terms Tuesday!

Do you remember in the fall, taking the Level of Teaching Innovation (LoTi)?  I know it was the week of conferences, and we had some log in issues, however, the LoTi is meant to help give you some areas to improve on in your teaching.  One of the biggest complaints I received about the LoTi was the complex "techy" vocabulary used in the survey.   Since we will be taking the survey again in April, I thought it might be a great idea to transform some of the complex language into teacher friendly terms - as I think we are all super innovative educators - and I know that will be reflected in the upcoming survey!  

This weeks term:  innovative thinking


My students engage in standards-based instructional units and related learning experiences that emphasize innovative thinking student use of digital tools, and applied learning to the real world.

Innovative Thinking
Innovative thinking represents the cognitive processes that enable students to look at problems or situations from a fresh perspective that suggests unorthodox or creative solutions.

Simply put, innovative thinking is thinking outside the box or exploring multiple solutions.

How do you use innovative thinking in your instruction?
