I'm interested in exploring how creativity can enhance learning, how learners, in all contexts & settings, might tap into their own creative potential.  
I'm hoping to create an ever-growing portfolio of ideas, practical activities and resources that can be adapted and implemented, plus some recommendations for inspiration and further research.
The site itself is an evidence base for my own investigation and research into how creativity can be developed in the classroom by ALL learners (teachers and students alike), so your feedback is much appreciated as it will provide me with valuable reflections on this area.

Big inspirations...

To kick us off, have a look at the video inspiration page which plays host to some BIG sources of inspiration that have infected my thinking and my actions (i.e. smacked me in the face and stopped me in my tracks - that's when you know it's G-O-O-D and will last) over the past few years. I am eternally grateful to the people who passed these creative gemstones on to me...

I'm always on the look out for resources, links to, ideas etc that promote creativity in learning...please contact me if you have anything you think would help me on my journey.
