Hi Ana, You are right! I do mostly the same, even if I am going sometimes on the hard Critical Thinking way ;)

People are still more scared of being mugged on the way home or fear that a burglar will break into their home while they are sleeping. This..THIS..right here is where the terror should be felt. The odds of this happening are much greater and people need to take the blinders off.

Letting students take more active roles in their learning doesn't mean teachers should take more passive roles. It means we should take new roles. We should assess students before assisting them. We should prepare for students' mistakes rather than try to prevent them. We should facilitate less whole-group instruction, and more whole-group discussion.
We should do what Yves Kabore has done to enable 6th graders to "fly through" material many 10th graders would find challenging: coach students rather than teach students. Via Gust MEES

Great presentation of a vital concept. Two observations:
1. "We are born creative". Watch young children when given the tools (paper, crayons, scissors, glue, toilet rolls etc) and how creative they are. Too few kids leave school with that creativity intact.
2. In the UK, designers of all sorts are being encouraged to get into schools to explain, excite and motivate. Getting individuals and firms involved is a vital step in encouraging and fostering creativity.
