Collaboration Alongside Academic Mind Mapping

Creativity flows from our fingertips and consumers our bodies, letting us erupted our unsaid thoughts and feelings in an constructive healthy way. Life would be drape without creativity. Creativity brings people together and forces them apart, hindering their relationship for the love of art, a beautiful and wretched process all at the same time. It amazes me how people can be nurtured in similar environments yet still have such unique and vast ideas and ways they express creativity. From this humanities class I have learned multiple ways on how artist use their creativity in a structured way. I can know tell when vanishing points pop up in my day to day life. For my future career I will have to have a high level of creativity. I wanted to become a dietitian, which means I will have to use my creativity everyday to construct meal plans for patients. Nature and dancer are one of the biggest things that has impacted my creativity. These two things go hand in hand in my life. Humanities taught me that creativity can explode from anything and I also can better comprehend myself and how I am creative in my personal life.

Connections: Students make connections between the concepts and strategies they are learning as well as connecting concepts and strategies to global issues, situations and events:

Furthermore, connections can be made between subjects to develop prior knowledge which pupils have gained with new information that teachers need children to acquire. Similarly, adopting a cross – curricular approach allows the recognition of several opinions and helps teachers ‘to build more knowledgeable, lasting and transferable understandings of the world’ (Barnes, 2015: 261). There are various strategies which can be used to teach thinking and learning effectively. These strategies can assist teachers in planning and delivering lessons which allow creative outcomes to be achieved. Further on in this assignment creative approaches will be shared to suggest how they may be used in the classroom alongside a variety of

I am using the mind mapping strategy because I like images and the mind mapping helps to organize and condense information in the form of a picture. I have found that mind mapping is very practical when the information are well organized and in chronological order. For our reading, information are given chronologically so they suit to mind mapping strategy. Also, with this note taking format “little thinking is needed, relationships can easily be seen and it is easy to edit my notes by adding marks, and color coding (“ Note Taking Systems”)

Similar to that of the current I.C.T subject within the national curriculum, Multi-Media studies will allow for creativity (Department for Education, 2013), the amount of areas of study mean that pupils can thrive and creative within the subject. The National Advisory Committee on Creative and Cultural Education (1998:3) report states that “there is stronger emphasis on creative and cultural education”. The Multi-Media Studies subject would allow for creativity to be shown through numerous ways such as through graphic design, game design, filming, editing as well as broadcasting and photography.

The students will form into small groups and use team-building skills to use art materials, perform, and create their own story. The sample activity draws on a child’s ability to work with others, a skill needed in succeeding within the corporate world. Being creatively expressive inside the classroom is vital to one’s motivation (Sherwood & Freshwater,

The term "creativity" is close to the concept of art. People usually conclude that the latter is given by birth, while the creative approach can be developed. It would seem that creativity is a particular talent, and not everyone can use it. Despite this assumption, in fact, it is possible to work out this type of response to the problems. It is only vital to find the right approach and develop specific tactics aimed at the formation of creative thinking. Time goes fast, rapidly evolving technology going forward and the progress requires human attention and concentration, flexible thinking, and quick adaptation to what is happening. The world is constantly in need of interchange of different problems with the help of creative approaches. Cathy Davidson, the author of "Project Classroom Makeover", provides a significant work on the role of creative thinking and its transformation due to changes in the digital era, as well as the process of forming of the self- confidence during the initial stages of education with the development of imagination and teamwork. In this work, the scientist insists on reconsidering of the very concept of education because of the development of digital age, multitasking society, the influence of the Internet. Also, the author insists on the development of such qualities as initiative, mobility, flexibility, the need for self-development, readiness for unconventional and creative solutions. In this regard, the objective necessity becomes the

Today, more than ever before, the complex social problems that we face globally call intensively not only for cross-sector collaboration, but for the development of collective skills that will prioritise in all collaborative interactions the social good for many that has not so far been achieved systematically. The development of such skills usually comes with time, through exposure and guidance by experienced and generous mentors. Being part of such teams allows for quick learning through experimentation and multi-stage knowledge sharing, rapid skill development that can lead to significant breakthroughs. Such skills are highly linked with practice rather than theory. Collective creativity skill development opportunities, such as the one offered by the ARSP, are opportunities to explore at the edge of divides by imaging and creating bridges that push forward our thinking in practice and that can challenge our theory building skills.

I found this activity very interesting because it was more creative than some of our other discussion board assignments. The mind map expanded significantly just from one idea, which shows the strength of the word “Terrorism” and the problems that have occurred because of it. It was interesting to see a collective train of thought amongst many people.

The presenter spoke clearly and fluently, and introduced the term creativity with underpinned research and illustrations. The introduction part is considered to be quite successful. At first, the presenter briefly introduced the key contents of the presentation. Based on source found, the presenter then defined what creativity is with its characters. Followed by assertive scholar research, the presenter posed an interesting question, which supports creativity can be developed through proper management. Next, straightforward illustration was applied to show different functions of human brain.

(Arbogast 14) Instead of giving them a map to follow, they must be given the tools they need to draw their own map. They should simply receive help in starting the process instead of being told the kind and manner of process they should use (Britton 31). As they are given tools and the power to use them, they will have the ability to compose in a way that is most authentic for them in each situation (Sharp 86). This will also leave room for them to change their meaning as they write because this process stresses the fact that meaning is often honed or even changed as one goes about the business of writing.

It is arduous to give an encyclopedic definition of creativity because definitions have been developing from the very time they were created. Perry-Smith JE and CE Shalley (2003) defined creativity from a social network perspective which includes both static and dynamic situations. The definition they offered consists of two types of network positions which are central position and peripheral position and both positions could have effects on creativity. Perry-Smith JE and CE Shalley (2003) think that people in central position are more possible to be given higher status which in turn gives them courage and discretion when face the challenges. How to offer applicable decisions when run into risks could be one pivotal characteristic that a qualified leader would have (Roles and Functions of Social Workers in England 2007). Despite the advantage, there are some obvious drawbacks and the following one would be a proper illustration:

Since 1974, Tony Buzan, a psychology author and educational consultant, has been developing and promoting the concept of using diagram which representing ideas in colorful branches, keywords, and images. Mind Maps for Kids: An Introduction, first published in 2003, is Tony Buzan’s first book written especially for younger readers aged 7 to 14 years old. Despite writing the book as a guide for parents to help their children, Buzan writes this colorful workbook with step-by-step guidelines and examples for children to help them in learning school subjects, remembering things, and unlocking imaginations which can be done by themselves.

there are at least four troubles a newly-shaped organization must deal with to achieve collective creative achievement. One is the technology of a concept or plan for the challenge. another is to determine who will do which a part of the undertaking. a 3rd problem is to inspire every character to do his or her nice on his or her assigned responsibilities. eventually, all person contributions must be co- ordinated into a coherent whole.
