EDPS 611: Creativity Strategy Lab Report
In this course we have been working with content and activities that are designed to help you gain competence in applying creative thinking techniques. One of the objectives in the course is for you to learn how to enhance creative thinking in others. Therefore, the objects of this assignment are for you to develop a lesson, teach it, and reflect on the experience. For the purpose of this assignment, a “group” constitutes 4 or more participants. Family, friends, students, neighbors, and/or co-workers all may be good options for your group. You do need to conduct the lab in person; I used to allow students to do it electronically, but it never worked well, so I now recommend the lab be conducted in person. The list of techniques you may use are listed below. You can do the activities we have done in class, or you can design your own. Participants usually respond the best when they find the prompts for the activities to be personally meaningful.
The technique we will use is referred to as SCAMPER
SCAMPER is when new ideas are created are simply old ideas with a new twist.
