Coping with the health, emotional, social, and financial impact of the Covid-19 outbreak has been challenging for everyone, including students and teachers who are suddenly out of school classrooms. Teachers had to find ways to be creative, daring to do things differently, thus expanding the boundaries of what they have known about teaching and learning to discover new worlds within the confines of online classroom environment. Through this presentation I will share ideas on how to be a creative teacher, enhancing learning and increasing motivation, deepening understanding, and promoting joy. Intrinsic motivation is essential to the creative process and relies on students pursuing meaningful goals. How can we make learning more fun leading to joy and positive emotional engagement in students? As teachers, it’s up to us to establish this kind of supportive online classroom environment. Students’ engagement is a key to successful teaching and it’s up to the teacher to find those creative ways of online teaching to engage all students in a productive learning process.
