Spoon feeding and creativity

Wednesday, 28 September 2011   |   Creative Thinking

CreativityIn my work as an educator I have noticed a worrying trend.  More and more, students are coming to rely on the internet and other sources to provide answers for them.  They almost expect to be spoon fed what they need to know.  I am assuming that this phenomenon is not just limited to students either.  This is a dangerous path to head down and has some serious consequences for creative thinking. 

The internet is a great source of information.  But you have to realise that information is only part of the equation.

This spoon fed way of life leads to laziness and poor creativity and problem solving ability.

But all is not lost.  There are many ways to break the habit.  A good place to start is with out weekly creativity games

 

You're on your way to becoming a Highly Creative Person.
