Creative Process

What I learned about the creative process...

In my workshop, I focused on creating an environment that encouraged engagement and fostered a sense of community. One method that played a crucial role in achieving this was the think-pair-share method, a technique taught in CPSA260 to facilitate deeper discussions.

The think-pair-share method begins by asking participants to think about a specific question individually, allowing them time to come up with their own answer. Afterward, they share their ideas with another person in the workshop. Finally the pairs share their ideas with the whole class. This method challenged each student to come up with their own ideas, rather than sit quietly in a group discussion while one or two students answered for them. This method also allowed students with anxiety to share ideas in a smaller, lower stress inducing environment.  

As participants shared their thoughts and listened to others, they found common ground and built connections. These deeper discussions not only enhanced the overall workshop experience but also created a supportive atmosphere where creativity and learning could thrive.
