The contemporary business world lauds those who are seen as creative. Innovators such as Elon Musk and Jony Ive have become household names. Yet, for many of us, despite our best efforts to be recognized as creative thinkers, our suggestions in meetings are ignored and our pitches to bosses get rebuffed. If your colleagues have already formed an opinion of you as technically competent but a little staid, it’s going to take a lot to change their minds and get them to listen — a situation that’s especially true for women, who, research suggests, are often unfairly viewed as less creative than men.

The constant pressure on being creative can dry up the stream of ideas. One might have to rebrand one'self in order to appear at one's creative best!

In order to feel open and confident enough to innovate, you have to ensure you aren't dwelling on the past setbacks or future worries. Research suggests meditation can help you tap into new insights.

For years, Finland has been the by-word for a successful education system, perched at the top of international league tables for literacy and numeracy. . Pasi Silander, the city’s development manager, explained: “What we need now is a different kind of education to prepare people for working life. . “Young people use quite advanced computers. In the past the banks had lots of bank clerks totting up figures but now that has totally changed. . “We therefore have to make the changes in education that are necessary for industry and modern society.” . Subject-specific lessons – an hour of history in the morning, an hour of geography in the afternoon – are already being phased out for 16-year-olds in the city’s upper schools. They are being replaced by what the Finns call “phenomenon” teaching – or teaching by topic. For instance, a teenager studying a vocational course might take “cafeteria services” lessons, which would include elements of maths, languages (to help serve foreign customers), writing skills and communication skills. . More academic pupils would be taught cross-subject topics such as the European Union - which would merge elements of economics, history (of the countries involved), languages and geography. .

This is what school librarians have been doing forever!

The world around us is not labelled or divided in categories, then why is academic content? Can we not relate topics and elaborate meaning on the basis of relationships and intertwined data?

I wonder if this would work in the U.S.? Also, in Finland, students do not take standardized tests until the end of high school (Zhao, 2012, p. 111), so thankfully, perhaps the drill and kill process is diminished. *Zhao, Y. (2012). World Class Learners. |

If you plan to go digital, show empathy to the person affected through storytelling ;)

Muy interesante este artículo de Phil Wainewright (@philww).
La transformación digital no es dotar de herramientas y tecnología para mejorar el trabajo. Es transformación y adaptación al cambio.
Necesita de la empatía de las personas. Necesita de conversaciones.

This is a short article on the ways that teachers' roles are changing. It is important to note that teachers are not becoming obsolete, but are just as important as ever. Teachers are here to facilitate learning and assisting the students in becoming resilient, self directed and capable learners.

These are the types of changes in the teacher's role that are fundamental to developing students who are capable of independent learning and reinvention in a rapidly changing world.

We can observe a significant change in the teacher's role. Nowadays, students are more independent in the learning process, and due to the pandemic situation, students are forced to create new study habits to learn by themselves. However, the teacher still plays a fundamental role in classes and provides different tools to help students improve while learning.
