This video shows where we've been, from there it leads into the above title of "divergent thinking"
This animate was adapted from a talk given at the RSA by Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert and recipient of the RSA's Benjamin Franklin award.

==================================
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions. It is often used in conjunction with convergent thinking, which follows a particular set of logical steps to arrive at one solution, which in some cases is a "correct" solution. Divergent thinking typically occurs in a spontaneous, free-flowing manner, such that many ideas are generated in an emergent cognitive fashion. Many possible solutions are explored in a short amount of time, and unexpected connections are drawn. After the process of divergent thinking has been completed, ideas and information are organized and structured using convergent thinking.
Psychologists have found that a high IQ alone does not guarantee creativity. Instead, personality traits that promote divergent thinking are more important. Divergent thinking is found among people with personalities which have traits such as nonconformity, curiosity, willingness to take risks, and persistence.

also I hope I cheerd you up a little, was my meaning this whole time, hehe :)
we are in a new kind of pyramid now, I don't believe the good king will be in the position you are used to bella, the place we have moved through is like two pyramids tip to tip, this as my meaning. .
aye, always the provider
yes, not "built" out of stone, and perhaps "foundation" is now becoming something beyond
your thoughts are of old foundation, maybe you are looking for wrong "thing", you'll never see it if you keep looking with the mind-form of the past
duty does many things, in many shapes and forms
and why are you here on this site. when people offer to you what they choose you should hear and feel them, cause that is why you are here. . more so, I suspect :)
can you flow, can you move with knowing?
These videos are amazing :) I've seen others as well :)
yea they are great, is a great style, many folks on the net have kind of adopted this way of visualizing to make videos, cool and kinda handy method, I agree
hehe, such a small stereotype you hold
all sorts of animals, not just wolves
That is great.
I think they should name it something else cause "divergent" sound like delinquent....or something that you should not do.....That is what I teach my kids to do the research to think about things.....I was talking with them the other day about how at one point people believed that the world was flat, and how that was normal..... I was teaching them even if everyone else believes think about it It might not be accurate.....I cannot stand the 'academic, and the nonacademic mentality' I think that people who are academic come from a family that supports the student to succeed and puts a priority on education. Parental support around school is what makes a student sucessful.
I agree that they need to change education. I disliked school so much as an indigo. I would have done better and been more engaged in a hands on or in a charter school. The kids who are labeled adhd need a different learning model they need hands on active learning, or something different. The kids and society is changing but the way they are taught is the same. When it comes to the arts children just absorb it like sponges....great post, great post... fantastic!
thank you!!
