So what kind of ideas to you guys typically end up coming up with?? Do you come up with good ones but always find yourself staying "within a box".
I've been noticing this with myself with this whole teaching thing. I will come up with an idea for a lesson, but its still fairly "straight-line" and not "out there", though my thinking and way the subject can be used and why it is important is outside the box.
So for example.... I could be teaching a lesson on animals and my idea to make it more interesting and to keep the lesson moving faster would be to initially cover the definitions of terms for the lesson, so more so of the concrete material (in order to give the kids a "base" and to adjust to the IEP students) and then once that is complete, do a problem solving activity to get the kids thinking about how this information could be applied to real-life and perhaps help them, and then perhaps show a video or pay a game if I can find one that correlates well to the lesson.
So, my ideas are certainly creative... but then there's the person with Ne who takes the same material of that lesson and decides to way outside the box. So like, to teach fire safety for example, brings the fire department in to show the kids how to put out a fire.
I don't know what an Ne would do when teaching about animals, because, well, I'm don't have Ne.
But you get my drift?? Its like you have these "A ha!" moments where you think you're idea is great, but then you see the Ne person come up with something way totally out there but somehow works.
Its a little frustrating sometimes because its like.... darn why can't my brain go that far out there?!
