Want Students to Be More Creative? Try Adding More Play.

It’s supposed to snow this week, which reminds me of a moment four years ago when it snowed. We were from Phoenix, which meant our children had spent their lives  experiencing the two seasons of blazingly hot and nice. The only thing that changed color in the fall were the license plates of all the people ditching this thing called snow, which we were about to discover in Oregon.

When we first moved here, people told us that it wouldn’t snow much.

“It’ll just be a dusting on the ground and then it will melt. You won’t need snow shovels or chains on your tires.”

While that’s generally true, we actually experienced a massive snow storm where the snow actually stuck. While the snow lasted, my kids played with it all the time.

All the time.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
