THE SEVEN RULES OF BRAINSTORMING (FROM IDEO)
tomwillerer:
1) Defer judgment
Don’t dismiss any ideas.
Any idea is a good idea, no matter how crazy. Nothing can kill the spirit of a brainstorm quicker than judging ideas before they have a chance to gain legs.
2) Encourage wild ideas
Embrace the most out-of-the-box notions because they can be the key to solutions. The whole point of brainstorming is coming up with new and creative...

Treasure Boxes
Hmm. Ok, there may or may not be boxes but there most certainly will be treasures…or not. Bear with me. This is about the experience of learning through artifact…and building global perspectives among children and adolescents. It has natural science elements, technology, arts, culture, language, etc. The “boxes” might be used in classrooms, libraries or museums. They...
The Ingenious Innovative Designers Journal
An idea I have toyed with for a few years. I am thinking about the ways that idea generators might engage children’s ability to be creative. I am thinking about creating a medium for challenging them to create, design, illustrate, imagine solutions to simple but sort of exotic ideas.
Imagine a new vegetable.
What does it look like?
How does it smell?
How does it taste?
Create a...

Annabel Lee - Edgar Allen Poe
It was many and many a year ago, In this kindom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. She was a child and I was a child, In this kingdom by the sea But we loved with a love that was more than...

What Should We Do About That Moon?
A wine bottle fell from a wagon
And broke open in a field.
That night one hundred beetles and all their cousins
Gathered
And did some serious binge drinking.
They even found some seed husks nearby
And began to play them like drums and whirl.
And this made God very happy.
Then the “night candle” rose into the sky
And one drunk creature, laying down his instrument,
Said to his...

We Have Not Come to Take Prisoners
We have not come here to take prisoners,
But to surrender ever more deeply to freedom and joy.
We have not come into this exquisite world to hold ourselves hostage from love.

Run like hell my dear,
From anyone likely to put a sharp knife into the sacred, tender vision of your beautiful heart.
We have a duty to...
