The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can have mental and physical health benefits over time by reducing stress levels and promoting relaxation.

It’s tough to give a good presentation on a topic that you’re not passionate about! This meeting is
all about getting to know your fellow club members and spending some time identifying and
articulating the ideas that motivate each member of your group. Later on, each club member will
present and record their own idea worth spreading in the form of a short TED-style Talk.

T
he admonition that we should be preparing our
students for the 21st century is everywhere. There
are numerous books, blogs, and content resources
promoting and espousing the virtues of 21st cen-
tury learning. If one examines the titles and descriptions of
presentations at any gifted or general education conference,
reference to 21st century learning is prevalent. Most of us
in gifted education have regularly advocated for teaching
trace their origins back at least 30 years. In 1983, the Na-
tional Science Board Commission on Precollege Education
in Mathematics, Science and Technology published a report
entitled, Educating Americans for the 21st Century: A Plan
of Action for Improving Mathematics, Science, and Technol-
ogy Education for All American Elementary and Secondary
Students So that their Achievement is the Best in the World
by 1995. This publication outlined many of the same initia-

not for our world, but for their world, the world of the future.”

111. Creativity is just
connecting things.
When you ask creative people
how they did something, they feel
a little guilty because they didn’t
really do it, they just saw
something. It seemed obvious to
them after a while.
That’s because they were able to
connect experiences they’ve had
and
SYNTHESIZE
new things.
- Steve Jobs, 1995
112. An idea is nothing
more or less than
a new combination
of old elements.
