• “Research strongly suggests that people are more creative when they enjoy privacy and freedom from interruption.” Is group-work counterproductive to our most creative people?
• The importance of frustration: Don’t Prevent Students’ Mistakes, Prepare for Them. From @GiftedEdIrving and @educationweek.
• What can you do with this? An image of iPods’ incredible change over time
• Great winter ideas, including: “Recreate Van Gogh’s Starry, Starry Night as Snowy, Snowy Night”
• Yes! 150 Words that are nouns and verbs. Multiple point of view practice!
