Special thanks to Damien LeriAnd to Mike Senter Morgan's Web page Flashcard Directory Creativity techniques and creative tools for problem solving This A to Z of Creativity and Innovation Techniques, provides an introduction to a range of tools and techniques for both idea generation (Creativity) and converting those ideas into reality (Innovation). Like most tools these techniques all have their good and bad points. I like to think of these creativity and innovation techniques as tools in a toolbox in much the same way as my toolbox at home for DIY. It has a saw, spanner, hammer, knife and all sorts of other things in it, they are all very useful, but you have to pick the right tool (creativity / Innovation technique) for each job. For the future, the aim is to also have sub-categories which will identify Techniques for; Problem Definition - including problem analysis, redifinition, and all aspects associated with defining the problem clearly. Special thanks to the Open University for their kind permission to use material from their publication B822. Subcategories This category has the following 5 subcategories, out of 5 total.

Jabberwocky "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

UvT oprichter van Law Schools Global League Op initiatief van de Universiteit van Tilburg en GV Direito Sao Paulo hebben zeventien rechtenfaculteiten uit de hele wereld de Law Schools Global League opgericht. Een internationale samenwerking op het gebied van onderzoek en onderwijs. Voor de UvT sluit dit aan bij de bachelor Global Law die in september 2013 van start gaat. Rechtenstudies zijn van origine veelal gericht op nationaal recht, terwijl de globalisering voor steeds meer grensoverschrijdende vragen zorgt. Tilburg Law School zal zich met de samenwerking meer gaan richten op het opleiden van juristen die internationaal inzetbaar zijn. Decaan Randall Lesaffer zal het eerste jaar van de Law Schools Global League, samen met Oscar Vilhena Vieira van GV Direito Sao Paulo, gaan voorzitten.

Chicago-Area Independent Schools International - Helen Gao - The Education System That Pulled China Up May Now Be Holding It Back China wants inventors and entrepreneurs, but its schools, built around the notorious gaokao exam, are still designed to produce cookie-cutter engineers and accountants. A student, studying for the gaokao, naps on a desk during his lunch break in a classroom in Hefei. (Reuters) On the morning of June 7 every year, Beijing's normally chaotic streets fall silent. In many ways, the gaokao is symbolic of China's rise, with millions of Chinese striving and competing to pull up themselves and their nation. In 2010, an international standardized test found that junior high school students in Shanghai had outperformed their peers in rest of the world in math, science, and reading, beating the U.S. averages by a wide margin. They hope to see an educated workforce, rather than toiling on factory floors or sitting in the cubicles of Western companies' Chinese branches, found their own businesses or brands that will sell to domestic as well as international buyers.

Nerd Paradise : How to Write a 20 Page Research Paper in Under a Day Posted on: 10 Cado 7:0 - 5.27.29 So you've procrastinated again. You told yourself you wouldn't do this 2 months ago when your professor assigned you this. Pick a Topic The more "legally-oriented" your topic is, the better. Make a list ...of every possible outcome that this issue could cause in...the near future...the far future...of every person that this topic affects....of any instances where this topic has come in the news....what you would do about this topic if you had the chance/power/enough-sugar...any little detail you can think ofThe important thing about this is to think of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, no matter how silly or far-fetched. Reorder everything Put your most obvious argument first. Then put weird off the wall stuff, regardless of importance. Put the strongest argument for your case next. Now list the incidents that will help argue for your point. Now, list everything that could be construed to be the answer to the question "if elected, what would you do about this issue?"
