Collaboration-Creativity-Critical Thinking
Hi, I'm Mrs. Linsacum
Let me start by saying I have the most AMAZING job on EARTH!!! I am in Instructional Coach for Moffat County School District in the rural, snowy town of Craig, Colorado. My love for curriculum, best instructional practices and technology have all collided into one dream position for me. As I embark on this journey, I am fortunate to learn daily from remarkable teachers, visionary leaders and inquisitive students. Here is where I hope to reflect, connect and collaborate...learning all I can & sharing all I know.

How do we encourage creativity in the classroom?
Using project makers on the iPad is an excellent way for students to demonstrate understanding. Teach them how to use a few apps, then let them choose!
The CAMERA is basically the ultimate app smashing tool, allowing you to take a picture of anything you've created and smash it in another app!
