1. Teacher As Travel Agent (21st Century Collaborative)
Learning is personal knowledge construction fueled socially where we schematically connect ideas and concepts as we do things and discuss
them with others. Just like we shouldn’t eat until we are hungry, I
believe learning should be natural and likewise fueled. Give children a
rich, interesting environment or scenario filled with beautiful
literature, authentic problems to solve, and places to explore or create
a journey and you will have kids who are motivated to learn and
engaged. A steady diet of force fed content with no authentic
application goes against the natural way were designed to learn. The way
we learned in Kindergarten.
2. The Six Myths of Creativity (Fast Company)- A new study (2004) will change how you generate ideas and decide who's really creative in your company.
The fact is, almost all of the research in this field shows that anyone
with normal intelligence is capable of doing some degree of creative
work. Creativity depends on a number of things: experience, including
knowledge and technical skills; talent; an ability to think in new ways;
and the capacity to push through uncreative dry spells. Intrinsic
motivation -- people who are turned on by their work often work
creatively -- is especially critical.
3. Young at Heart: How to be an innovator for life (Stanford d. School)- Tom Kelley, general manager at the world-renowned design firm, IDEO,
presents five core practices that enhance creativity.
4. Olin College SCOPE Program (Olin College)-

full-year engineering projects for partnering corporate sponsors.
Olin works closely with companies and technology clients to develop
SCOPE projects that provide exceptional value to the sponsors while

5. JR: One year of turning the world inside out (Ted Talk)- Street artist JR made a wish in 2011: Join me in a worldwide photo
project to show the world its true face. Now, a year after his TED Prize
wish, he shows how giant posters of human faces, pasted in public, are
connecting communities, making change, and turning the world inside out.
