This is an evergreen interesting topic. I was especially intrigued with the title up above that said "Social Media Job of The Future". There might be a lot of prescience (sp?) in that choice of words.

Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
The idea of an all school Art Fest Day involving all the school arts sounds like an idea that should spread. Schools and communities focus too often on just the sports team and players or the academics on test results. It is time the Artist stepped up to strut their stuff as well.

I thought this sounded like a fun creative project. You might even have them create a world or new language using this idea. Using what is known have learners dream up and create something unknown.

Today the world has lost one of its great minds. Paolo Soleri, architect, builder, artist, writer, theorist, husband, father, born on Summer Solstice, June 21, 1919, has died at age 93. Paolo Soleri spent a lifetime investigating how architecture, specifically the architecture of the city, could support the countless possibilities of human aspiration. The urban project he founded, Arcosanti, 65 miles north of Phoenix, was described by NEWSWEEK magazine as “…the most important urban experiment undertaken in our lifetimes.”

Ohh ! Gods Are Online.. Via Susan Bainbridge
Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
The idea of working online with people that have never met in person is exciting because many people have great ideas that close family, neighbors and their own community just don't have the desire or skills to nurture, This is a great way to keep following a passion or plan when there are not close allies for the project.

Despite its popularity, the personality test has been subject to sustained criticism by professional psychologists for over three decades. (Have we all been duped by the Myers-Briggs test?
Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
How many have completed all or part of this test over the years. This article presents very good points to support the idea that while it's kind of fun to see "who you are and what your like" that might just be all there really is to these tests.
Excerpt: FORTUNE -- "When Frank Parsons opened the world's first career guidance center in Boston in 1908, he began by asking prospective clients 116 penetrating questions about their ambitions, strengths, and weaknesses (and how often they bathed). But then he did something more unusual: He measured their skulls.
Parsons was a committed believer in phrenology. If you had a large forehead, he might recommend you become a lawyer or engineer. But if your skull was more developed behind the ears, you were of the "animal type" and best suited to manual work.
Career advice has, thankfully, come a long way since then. But now, instead of measuring the outside of people's heads, it has become common to measure the inside using psychometric tests. Personality testing has grown into a major industry and is standard procedure in leadership and management courses, as part of job-interview processes, and, increasingly, in career counselling. But should we really trust such tests to deliver scientific, objective truth?" Delete the scoop?

Art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even to disturb, in a constant search for truth - invest in your soul
Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
Here is an opinion about how Art does make kids smarter. What do you think? Does art make kids smarter. Do we need to be more careful about what kind of art we make because so much is learned from it? Kids today spend more time than ever in and learn far more from their man made environmnet and the visual and audio visual art messages than they spend one on one communicating and interacting with real people or natural surrounding outdoors.
