Creativity is back. Authors such as Daniel Pink are purporting that we need to use both sides of our brain to be successful in school and in life. Try this in your classroom in almost any subject area. Students write a headline for a summary of what they learned that day or what they would like to see happen next.
Here are some headlines that I would like to see happen in 2008:
Kids eschew TV, violent video games
Book sales set records
South Dakota moves from 51st to 21st
Funding formula changes; Teacher pay increases
All rung out
Saying cellphones have enough features, manufacturers balk at adding hair dryer
2010 Education Initiative ahead of schedule
ESA personnel key to increasing retention of teachers to twenty percent
Rap is finished
Musicians discover melody, harmony, lyrics
Paris Hilton joins convent, takes vow of silence
Public gives state lawmakers high marks
Missouri River experiences July freeze
Federal budget spends millions per day on education
Military holds bake sale for new uniforms
Boomers finally give credit to parents
They were right all along, aging hippies say
