How To Prepare Students For 21st Century Survival
===> As educators, we constantly strive to prepare our students for the ‘real world’ that exists around them. <=== We teach them how to read, write, and calculate. Then, of course, there are the less tangible skills we teach; such as how to work in a team, think critically, and be curious about the things they encounter each day.

I do believe that creativity is an essential literacy for education. The only real solution to our education crisis and removing the need for this post is that policy makers begin to make time in education for educators to allow children to use their imagination and creativity. Although assessment is great to inform instruction, let’s stop making them all paper and pencil multiple guess tests. ===> Lets take anecdotal notes, give projects, do short checks for understanding, peer review, etc. etc <===

During breaks, I found myself jotting down examples of important creative thinking skills the team was exhibiting. These seven creative thinking skills demonstrated during the call are ones which benefit both those who display them and those working with them too:

Enterprising educators are using Twitter in creative ways, to engage students inside and outside of class, to stay on top of education news, and keep in touch with peers and students. A recent post by Best Online Colleges enumerates 28 ways to use Twitter in class. They’ve asked me to repost, and I’m happy to share it.

The increasing buzz about a creativity crisis comes at a time when neuroscience and cognitive science research are increasingly providing information ===> that correlates creativity with intelligence; academic, social, and emotional success; and the development of skill sets and the highest information processing (executive functions) that will become increasingly valuable for students of the 21st century. <===

Teachers spend countless hours learning new tools to use in class, but do they set aside any time for students to learn these new tools as well?
Gust MEES: I said this already years ago and I used it also with adults, seniors + kids and it's working well! Just show them one of the tools YOU are using, tell them it's your secret tool (it makes them curious...) and explain how it works and then give them a challenge to do it better... You will engage them and the challenge will bring out a lot of creativity... BUT, don't make a time limit, give them the time they need to work it out...
Tip: read the books of Howard GARDNER "Multiple Intelligences" + "5 Minds for the future" as also books from Daniel GOLEMAN about Emotional Intelligence and YOU will understand...
In one phrase: make a win-win situation with your learners, show them your "secret" Educational Tools and use them to engage your learners, they will learn "BETTER" ;) Best would be to make your own curation and share it with them, but also to ask your learners to create also in parallel their own curation about it...

In 2003, Richard Florida predicted that right-brained people would rule the world in his book "The Rise Of The Creative Class."
There is an economic need for the "creative class," which is why it's thriving right now, writes Florida. He says one in three Americans, or 40 million workers, belong to it.
