Curiosity Confratute 2018
The document discusses how gifted students can develop their creativity through curiosity and technology. It provides definitions of "geek" and "nerd" and explores how thinking like a child can help develop fluency, flexibility and originality. It encourages keeping students curious by having them constantly ask "why?" and thinking in terms of "what if?". The document advocates focusing on the experience rather than just the technology. It also discusses how imposing limits can encourage creativity and how everything is a remix by changing elements like settings, genres and narrators.
