Abstract Previous generations of innumerable people created millions of small innovations to this language and this technology/media that I am using now. Centuries of innovations permit me to convey to you that, we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors and communities. More importantly, none of these predecessors worked alone, they all used what others before them had created and built upon it, continually collaborating with real and imagined communities. Furthermore, I contend that there is little difference between learning and creating: learning something new is creating new things and possibilities in your minds, in your worlds. That is why real learning is so exciting! (Not studying and memorizing things for tests that someone else is choosing for us.) It is creating new possibilities within your worlds. When teachers stimulate creating in students, they are stimulating learning and agency as well. In this Plenary-Workshop I will describe some interesting ways of helping students own their learning so they want to create more of it and how we all get addicted to Wow! and enjoy expansive learning in multiple environments in and out of school, using experiential learning. I will finally meld together the Social Neuroscience of Education (Cozolino, 2013), Love 2.0 (Fredrickson, 2013), and Brave (Sarah Bareilles, 2013), to help us create more Wow!s in our classrooms. I will demonstrate much of this by inviting you to sing and move with me as we create. Finally, I will demonstrate as well how improvisation can help students relax, enjoy themselves, and create and learn.

P. 5, 6 in the postscript of Creativity: the psychology
Of discovery and invention (1996/2013)
Twenty five years before I began to write these
lines , I made a discovery that took all the
intervening time for me to realize I had made [it].
To call it a discovery is perhaps misleading, for
people have been aware of it since the dawn of time.
Yet the word is appropriate, because even though
my finding itself was well known, it had not been
described or theoretically explained by the relevant
branch of scholarship, which in this case happens to
be psychology. So I spent the next quarter-century
investigating this elusive phenomenon.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/getawowlearncreatef2014nov22-141127050943-conversion-gate02/85/Geta-wow-learncreatef2014nov22-10-320.jpg)

- 11. The Advantages of seeing Learning and Teaching as Creating! 1. Makes learning/teaching more exciting! 2. Motivates learners/teachers more! 3. Is a truer description of what happens! 4. Can put us all in a state of awe and flow! 5. Creates more respect for what we do! 6.Turns the classroom into a creativity lab! 7. Gives us permission to experiment and fail, and improvise! 8. Makes learners into teachers and teachers into learners. What are you doing now?...
- 12. Four Out of the Box Ideas 1. Information is overrated. Considering questions are at the heart of learning and creativity. 2. Success is overrated. Challenge is what we crave and what makes us creative. 3. Listening to teaching/telling is overrated. Doing teaching/telling deepens learning and creates meanings. 4. Creating and Learning and Teaching can often be synonymous. And this understanding has advantages for teaching and learning. Ask your partners: Whatcha doin now? Suzi Suzi
