Follow the flow of ideas. Water.
When you have a great idea, look back to the beginning and see where it came from. If you understand the flow of ideas, you can pick up at any point and know where you are. This will allow you to think creatively at any point in the thinking process.
In our classrooms: Instead of a focus on rote memorization, we need to teach our students the links between different pieces of information. We can draw connections between disciplines and grade levels. This will help students create a progression of thinking that is continuous and evolving.
By mastering these four elements, you can get to the quintessential element, the element of change. You can change.
Effective thinking creates change. Original thoughts and inventions change the way we live and think. It’s a bit paradoxical, but if we understand that our thoughts are always under construction, then we will have a more stable worldview. In essence, the best thinking is thinking that allows room for constant and continual evolution.
