REHASHING
Alan Levine
look…listen…!
analyze
photo / design!
safari
tuning your senses to the way
effective media is assembled, and to
better APPRECIATE the parts that
work well enough to not be noticed.
@cogdog
break beyond!
boundaries
listening to / doing !
what moves you
suggest!
alternatives
move to a different plane…!
just running differently from
the CROWD
@cogdog
tell them what you are !
going to tell them
steer clear of:
tell them
tell them what you!
told them
the un-expected turns is, !
to me, the best element of !
STORYTELLING, and the
one we use least in
education
@cogdog
creativity happens!
together
create with others
art studio vibe
@cogdog
there is an energy effect of!
creating in PROXIMITY…
contribute to !
knowledge
personal blog !
might be best
give peer feedback
@cogdog
But there is more to just
sharing YOUR stuff…sharing
is also celebrating the work
of OTHERS…
@austinkleon
CREATIVITY is not a talent…!
it’s a WAY of operating…!
and it’s CURIOSITY !
for it’s own sake
- John Cleese
slow journalism
see the angel!
in the marble…
Authentic learning (and
assessment) are related not only
to the knowledge students
RECEIVE,	

but also to the knowledge	

PRODUCTION	

they can themselves 	

achieve.
- Steve Wheeler @timbuckteeth
what is
?
CREATIVITY is intelligence!
having fun
albert einstein
Creation is !
discovering your !
OWN KIND
CLOSED
relaxed
expansive
less purposeful
humour
play is distinct from the locality!
and duration of everyday life
-John Cleese

“It’s easier to do!
trivial things !
that are urgent!
that we know!
we can do…
…than the BIG THINKING”
- john cleese
shhhhhhhhhh…..
We don’t stop PLAYING because we!
grow OLD…we grow old because !
we stop playing
- George Bernard Shaw

you are a mashup of what !
you let into your life

“All ideas are
secondhand, consciously
and unconsciously drawn
from a million outside
sources
Mark Twain
CREATIVITY= DERIVATIVE WORKS
Creativity !
in restraint
…Nuns fret not at their convent’s!
narrow room, and hermits are!
contented with their cells…
William Wordsworth
