Minds in Bloom

Here's an interesting websites with tons of FREE resources: Minds in Bloom. They pride themselves in discovering and creating "strategies and activities to promote creative and critical thinking." I've found numerous STEM activities to introduce in my Makerspaces. Great resource!

Doodling

I stumbled across an interesting article on Edudemic titled, "Doodling: A Teacher's Secret Weapon for Unlocking Learning."It promotes drawing in all classrooms to calm students, focus them, brainstorm, think critically, and inspire creativity.

As an elementary student, I was introduced to the importance of doodling.  We were taught to doodle by my mother, our elementary school librarian, as a way to express our creativity and to think in a deeper, analytical way.

How would you use doodling in your classroom?
