from knowing to

understanding

Whether you THINK or you BELIEVE or you KNOW, youre a lot of other people

but the moment you FEEL

youre nobody but yourself

ee cummings

holistic, reflexive, reflective, experiential, relational requires exploration of ones identity

Almost all creativity involves purposeful play

- Abraham Maslow

Homo Ludens : Playful Human

It is paradoxical that many educators and parents

still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play

without seeing the vital connection between them

- Leo Buscaglia

A child loves his play not because it is easy, but because it is hard

-Benjamin Spock

the larger an animals brain

the more play (like dolphins)

the opposite of play is not work -

the opposite of play is depression

- Steve Keil A Manifesto for Play

kitties deprived of play cannot be social

grows our amygdala - emotional center of brain so better interpersonal skills

TRUST - linked to play

promotes pre-frontal cortex growth

(so better decision makers)

Cmdr. Chris Hadfieldpsychologists insisted on having a guitar on space station

CRITICALTHINKING

I have the answers to the questions they never ask

- Gwen Burvall

From COAL

ROCK n ROLL

what if

there was less direction

and more discovery?

less learning and more yearning?

the question was more important

than the answer?

negative capability

Keats

Extended Thinking

what if?

what do you believe / feel/ think?

what can you design / develop / do?

what are other perspectives?

the WHEN and WHY to use a tool is as important

as the HOW

connections as valuable as knowledge

within the course

to other courses

to life

to the outside world

connectionmaps

expand our umwelt?

analysis/ insight what can the trending in diff countries tell us?

learn why the world wags and what wags it

- Merlin

COMMUNICATION

Amplify Ideas

even the tiniest pencil can leave a lasting mark

backchannelling a basic practice?

break the 4th wall of the media we consume?

class as a studio with no walls?

What if the group in group project was the world?

What if #FF was for students what if teacher role is also amplifier?

class bards?

CREATIVITY

Agility is the Answer

Creativity is a Tao - a Way - a Lens

Trainthe creative brain

CREATIVITY is relational.

casting widely and disparate dots of existing knowledge in new ways

mine your knowledge; know your dots

-Bruce Nussbaum

CREATIVITY is

connecting dots

to dot connect

you must have the dots

help students

grow their dot forest

need blend of direct instruction and open inquiry

Egon Schiele meets Thom Yorke

of Radiohead

Combinatorial Play

Albert Einstein

make disciplinesdance together

Creativity is Remix

REMIX: the ultimate

demonstration of learning?

TRANSFORM to give new MEANING

is like a Long Island Iced Tea

mix of existing ingredients, deconstructed and re-contextualized

is like a White Russian

two or more opposing things layered and blended
